So reading back, I think that you want us to vote on whether, in that situation, we would be:

1. amused
2. angry
3. embarrassed

Is that right?

How about 'Oh for heavens sake, act your age and not your shoes size'.

I would certainly have responded fast and with a put down. it is all you can do to hold your self respect. Once back home all hell would have been let loose.

This sort of thing might be a bit ‘sweet’ with a man in their 90s, but 61?
