An older couple came into the library. Yorkshire from their accent, but obviously not local as they had to ask where the toilets were.
Having suitably relieved themselves, they began the old-person duologue which is basically "say what you see". Not meaning to sound unnecessarily harsh, but I do spend a lot of time on public transport.
What made me smile was when the lady saw the seating.
"Oooh, look! Little settees!"
(note to non-Brits, a settee is a very very common name for a sofa. I know, I used the word until I was about 13)
I mean bless her for her excitement and not being able to identify an armchair and all. I grinned until her noisy yap started to annoy me.
