Several Shades of Grey

By Navire on

I had just emerged from a benign and wholly unnecessary meeting with WINZ Senior Services. A different world where they speak slow and clear, are graciously deferential and call you sir. Seniors are a different class of beneficiary deserving of a comfortable quiet space well away from the mewling masses queued next door.

This meeting, which could have been completed on-line in less than two minutes, were I a ten year old, was generously arranged to spare me the minor trauma of typing and fiddling with the send button.
