...with a couple of old blokes also waiting for the bus and a man in a car called from his open car window, "that would make a lovely photo", would you have a. Smiled and laughed along with him, or b. Flipped him the bird for being so bloody patronising and ageist?

Baggs, you ‘met’ me years ago?

I was Agus in a previous life but had to change my username due to many referring to me as Angus?

Kalu Tue 26-Nov-19 14:39:21

KKKK Kalu. Sheesh!?

Gonegirl Tue 26-Nov-19 14:39:23

Oh, that old thread about that grandma drumming up votes for Susannah Reid on Strictly! That was before I had my little break.

Gonegirl Tue 26-Nov-19 14:40:35

What?!!!! Are you just moaning cos I didn't give you a capital Letter?! hmm

Gonegirl Tue 26-Nov-19 14:41:57

Will look out for you on other threads KKKKKalu. smile

OK goneGirl ?

Baggs Tue 26-Nov-19 15:00:18

I'm so glad you told me you were Agus, KapitalKalu. I've been wondering what happened to Agus.

Kalu Tue 26-Nov-19 15:13:54

Still alive and kicking Baggs albeit with a little less in my energy tank? Nice to ‘bump’ into you again.

How can I have missed this thread?
I'm an expert at sitting at bus stops in the pouring rain. I do it nearly every day.
@ Gonegirl - another answer - "go on then, and send me a print".
I've got a group of regular bus stop friends, m&f, old and young, we chat while waiting.
On a very wet windy day last week we were all sitting shivering. A younger woman got up and raised her umbrella to shelter us oldies.
From her conversations on her phone I think she's from Poland.

I don't care what everybody else thinks Baggs. I have a mind of my own and don't need everybody's approval. It's what I think.
