I have perfected a doddery old man act when in situations that require it.
I exsasperate jobsworths with innane questions, in the end they say, "let me fill the forms/sort this for you!"
Shop assistants fetch and carry for me.
I get help crossing the road from lovely ladies, and Hells Angels.
Luggage is put up on the racks for me when on trains.
I allways get a seat on public transport.
I melted old "Steel Heart" who guards the doctor from patients with the simple statement, "You remind me of my mother. She was so kind just like you"
She can't do enough for me now.
It is amazing the things I get away with.
I often think I might as well become that old guy permanently.
Maybe I am already that guy!
