Having just returned from the weekly jaunt to the supermarket , is it me or are people walking slower than they used to ?

I know it's not the highlight of the week so one would have thought the quicker the exit the better , but oh no the great unwashed seem to take great delight in ambling from side to side down the aisles and making a day of it . Constricting the access of others seems part of the pleasure .

Now before you accuse me of being young in body as well as mind I will admit to having a bus pass so I am not as quick as I used to be but heck these people are half my age and move at a pace even the proverbial snail would look on in disdain .

Is this a health issue , ie not fit for purpose , or is it more to do with their lethargic outlook on life in general ? If it is the former then the country has a problem , if it is the latter then boy we really do have a problem .
