Default The Times they are a Changing!

Oh dear, is it a sign od advanced years?

In Spring this year, Peter, my optician who has looked after my eyes for maybe 25 years, got ill and had to retire. I spent about three times as much this year and they aren't as good as his specs.

A coupla months ago Phil my dentist who I've been going to for a few decades, suddenly retired the Monday before my check up. The woman who took over the practice was horrible, I walked out. Then a front tooth broke. I took some advice, and went to, a very nice chap but seemingly the most expensive dentist in town - £1500 for a single tooth?

I've been awaiting a quite to build me a new desktop by the Sia, a Persian chap who has become a friend, but have heard nothing. Then saw a sign in his shop window - closed indefinitely through ill-health (he had mentioned to me that he had "gentleman's problems").

Even Justin my GP is starting to look pretty fed up!

I'm too old to find other good folks.

Anybody else identify with this?
