There are not many advantages to getting older. A bus pass, free prescriptions, fuel allowance.............th
at's about it really.
The big exception is grandchildren. They are a joy. You can absolutely ruin them and they think your great. However it gets even better as you never know what nugget they are likely to come up with next.
My six year old granddaughter has just made my week by requesting her first Liverpool shirt. Graddad will of course get her one. It will be a home shirt and will have her name on the back with the number 7 (her age in the next couple of months) and the premiership badges.
Now the rub. I went on-line to the official shop and guess what? All infant sizes and the smallest junior size are all sold out with a 5 week waiting period before more stock comes in. This with only a couple of weeks before the season kicks off. When is the commercial side of this club going to be run half decently. I'm not going to look but I bet you can get any size of Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea Shirt you want. It must be one of the few businesses where it is made bl**dy difficult to buy anything and for them to get their hands on your money.
Oh, another advantage of getting older, you can moan about everything - it's expected.
