Mrs McT

It's not uncommon.

Here's a story from our local paper this week:

<https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/pensioner-72-says-shes-forced-31314824>

My grandmother lived modestly on her retirement pension but because
she became bored, in a complete change from her previous career[1] she
worked as a silver service waitress at the local restaurant through
most of her seventies. She might well have been the inspiration for
Julie Wlaters' Mrs Overall character.

Nick
[1]Theatrical director and dental assistant[2]
[2]Not both at the same time.

Lots of rattling, then?

Are you looking for a thread merge with "Something to get your teeth
into" or a BTN?

BTN! - you can sort the threadmerge out for yourself.

Good try, but not on this occasion.

I would if I needed someone with those skills, especially with Emma's
excellent and honest CV.

Eddie's version OTOH was an absolutely brilliant piss-take. Well-written
for a change.

Whilst I feel that the scriptwriters do not understand rural life or
even rural cricket teams I can support that this week is well written.

When so many over 50s fail to obtain paid employment, it feels unreal.
There was also the comment that Clarrie’s an ‘old fashioned’ cook, and the
Bull is embracing modern trends.
