Memory, I have a bad one of those.

Those are the breaks, I'm afraid, at our age

Age is no barrier.

Barrier definitions are usually made by the youth of the day due to pure ageism.

Ageism is yet another "-ims" that has come into the English language over the last 2 decades.

Decades of use does tend to get words recognised as part of the language and we can only hope and pray that this is not the case for words like 'innit' and such like.

Like it or not, languages will always evolve, bringing new words which purists, such as you and I, do not always appreciate.

Appreciate is somewhat of an understatement, but yes it is very true what you say and in some cases such changes can of course be beneficial.

Beneficial to whom....?

Whom may you be referring to?

To me, I think you'll find

Find what, where ?

Where you left him Grae.... obviously

Obviously I haven't a clue where that is.

Is this now all starting to go a bit off track?

Track, that's what trains run on.

On that note, don't you think trains have gone very expensive?

Expensive, the prices are daylight robbery !

Robbery just the word I was looking for.

For he's a jolly good fellow !
