    Just had a toddle down Doduth High Street, and coming back a charming young lady was crossing the zebra crossing at the Barnsley road/High street junction. As I was approaching she offered to “watch me” across the crossing!

    I smiled graciously and thanked her, but said I wasn’t that bad (yet!). A very nice gesture from a charming young lady, but BOY, DO I FEEL OLD!

    PS. I am on crutches following a hip op.

    I'd have said, "after you" and ogled her bottom.

    I'd be on crutches if I'd been doing that hip-hop dancing as well.

    I'm sure it's not your age and just the crutches! She'd probably watched Scrooge and had Tiny Tim on her mind!

    I'd have been worried if you hadn't been on crutches.

    Lovely replies which have done nothing to make me feel better!

    But it's nice to see youngsters willing to help. Refreshes your faith in human nature
