Age and beauty.

After a dismal afternoon where we barely noticed if the doors were open to the public, one of our colleagues decided to take drastic action.
Commence Operation - Badger the Customers at Home. Off she went with the phone book and with some minor success sold a few bits to post out. Then she called Betty who turned out to be 86, nevertheless this lady wanted certain items supplied. It was a lovely conversation until it came time to pay and then the vagaries of age became a problem. Bless Betty, she couldn't read her credit card because her eyes were bad but her husband, who could read it, couldn't speak because he had lost his teeth.
They eventually managed and Betty can expect to smell wonderful sometime soon; in her own words,

'It's the only bloody sense we both have left love..'

We love you Betty X
