Coronavirus: I would rather be disliked than patronised - wouldn't you?
I don’t think that anyone likes to be patronised, but - on reaching a certain age in life, it seems that being regularly patronised is a social necessity nowadays. It’s bad enough anyway, but with the outbreak of you-know-what, everyone seems to want to talk to anyone of ‘mature’ years as if they were 8 years old or more than a little stupid. You will have to take my word for the fact that I am still okay in the upstairs department and am still capable of undertaking occasional tennis, long walks and shouting vigorously at the television when irked. And just recently dear reader, I have been irked quite considerably by all and sundry. I was hoping to swerve around the subject of coronavirus in this column today, but alas, the subject is all encompassing I’m afraid. However, my sights are not set on the virus itself, but upon the reaction of some people to the older members of their communities that ranges from the pathetic to the absurd.
