    @DELETEaccount possibly you’re unaware that ā€˜folk working from home’ in the current situation carries with it a subtext ... staff are furloughed/unwell etc so numbers are down and tasks are having to be reprioritised. I have no idea what is causing the current problem with the PM system on this forum at the moment but it is something most of us are coping with, with forbearance and good humour.Ā 

    As for the other well known implications of being twenty seven ... of course I’m aware ... Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin were of my generation after all
    ... as I said ... old enough to be grown up but not old enough to have to be sensible 😢 

    It seems that you have a problem with age ... or are preoccupied by the fact that quite a few of us are older than you are .... please don’t fall into the trap of developing a load of misconceptions about us ... that could be seen as agism and discriminatory.Ā 

    We are all different, with our own individual talents, experiences, dreams and desires .... yes, even at our age. We also carry with us the mistakes and disappointments we’ve acquired along the way.Ā 

    Some of us have survived difficult and abusive Ā relationships, nursed and lost our parents, partners and even our children, while some of us have never found the loving and supporting relationship we’ve been longing for.Ā 

    Some of us have had high flying careers gaining national recognition, some of us have chuntered along in the background helping to hold other folk together so that they can be the best they can be ... and some of us are watching our loved ones as they struggle against the arrival of the crippling frailties that come to some as they age. For some of us the battle against increasing frailty is our own.Ā 

    Don’t judge or patronise us ... remember, we know what it’s like to be your age ... we remember it well, its glories and itsĀ sorrows. Ā You don’t yet know what it’s like to be ours.Ā

  • Good morning 😁
    Gosh @Dovefromabove, such wise words so early in the morning, well said. Amusing as it is sometimes to follow people's posts when they've got their knickers in a twist about something there are times when you think 'really' do they really think that, did they really say that, I'm talking about the previous posts, not yours @Dovefromabove. šŸ˜…

    Anyway, lovely day here, tip run and car wash done already, I'll have that second cup of coffee too now thanks! ā˜•ā˜•
