Older person too brisk for the young and their mobile phones



Returning failed Christmas  gifts (a Kobo ereader, which acquaintance with their website tells me have a lot of people are experiencing problems with) I am caused to revise my ageist assumptions about how old people are slow in malls and shopping street, always chuntering along without a thought for the busy.

As a older person myself, I'm obviously still too brisk, but this time for the young. I’ve come (I recognise this is equally ageist, but this time against the younger) to be irritated by younger people, halted wherever they have decided they need to adjust their mobile phones, without a thought for the passing flow of pedestrians.
