For those of a certain age (again)?

WE MUST STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY



Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper; groceries are heavier; everything is further away?



Yesterday I walked to the corner of our street and couldn鈥檛 believe how long the street has become. I never saw the building work going on so it must have been done at night 鈥?very crafty!



People are less considerate now, especially the young ones. They speak in whispers all the time and when you ask them to repeat anything they keep mouthing the same silent message until they鈥檙e red in the face. What do they think I am, a lip-reader?



I have also noticed that they are much younger than I was at their age. On the other hand, people my age are so much older! I ran into an old friend the other day and he鈥檚 got so old he didn鈥檛 even recognise me!



I got to thinking about the poor bloke when I was combing my hair this morning and when I glanced up and realised that even mirrors are not made the way they used to be 鈥?older versions were designed to reflect exactly what was in front of them, not a distorted image.



Another thing, everyone drives so fast these days. You鈥檙e risking life and limb every time you pull on to the motorway in front of them.



And they must get through their brakes like a dose of salts the way I see them skidding and sliding in my rear view mirror.



Clothing manufacturers are more careless these days. Their quality control (if you can call it that!) must be non existent judging by the number of times I鈥檝e brought items with the wrong size labels in them. I mean, putting 鈥?2" waist鈥?in a pair of 32" trousers is almost criminal. Do they think we won鈥檛 notice that things no longer fit around the neck, waist and hips?



Bathroom scale manufacturers are the same. The inaccuracy of their products is unbelievable 鈥?I would never let myself get to the weight the numbers are trying to tell me are correct!



I feel like calling someone to complain about these goings on but the telephone company are in on the act also 鈥?they print their directories in such fine print that you can鈥檛 look up the appropriate numbers!



All I can do is pass on this warning:



WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!



Unless something drastic is done pretty soon everyone will have to suffer these indignities.



PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!!!!



P.S. I am sending this to you in large font size because something has happened to my computer to cause the regular fonts to shrink (They must have got into my house at sometime to make these changes 鈥?scary thought!!!!!)



For those of a certain age (again)?
