BC, Have a metaphorical hug from me. Are you sure you weren,t just having a change from the old 'dropping a hanky' routine.? Happy days and best wishes

Buttercup My niece is in Dublin, say Hi to her from Auntie Jackie. We miss her like crazy. She is hopefully coming home to OZ next May after 4 years away. Regards Jackie

BC I'm sure you did all you could. Don't feel bad. I have dealt with a lot of elderly people that are infirm and some (not all) seem to think that the world owes them something for their afflictions. They can get quite nasty and blame other people. Ask anyone who works in a nursing home. Most elderly are lovely but then you get ones like you encountered today that are just plain nasty. He was the one that tripped over you. try and have a good day don't let it worry you Regards Jackie

*sniffs...thanks Pat, no sugar and very little milk. Any M & S chocolate ginger biscuits? I am fine now. I think he hurt his wrist but would not go to the hospital. I was just on the way back from the hospital myself, with some good news, so maybe I was not being as careful as I should. Hope you are doing fine, my friend. Am going to Dublin for Christmas, will wave your way! lol BC XXX

Poor BC here sit down put your feet up & have a cuppa. Don't worry that nasty man must have been ok to be shouting at you like that, he was very naughty. I hope as you feel sorry for yourself he feels very annoyed with himself. ;-))) Pat x

Buttercup, if he was watching where he was going he wouldn't have tripped would he? You did all you could by apologising and trying to help so don't beat yourself up over it! Julie xxx

Blimey BC, that smacks of him not looking where he was going. Sounds as if his dignity's dented more than anything else, and I'll bet you're not the first to have 'been in his way'. Chin up. x

Either he was having a bad day, or he's another one of those 'nasty little men' we seem to be encountering a lot of recently. Buttercup - if it wasn't your fault you have done nothing wrong. Relax.

Well don't be BC, it was an accident....as for leg.....doesn't give him the right to be nasty when you were sorry and tried to help. Five people in my family (close) have had legs off, and it is no exscuse to be horrible......they weren't in fact called my aunt Hoppy XXXX
