Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
The day will come when you have to use a stick to get to the post office to collect your benefits. It will be such a shock for you, there you'll be in the queue not knowing what day it is or who the funniest comedians are and I guarantee when you get to the counter, you will forget to use the definite article.
All the younger people in the queue will be saying 'ah, what a shame, he doesn't use the definite article and he has no clue whether the football he watches is live or recorded.... poor old fella.'
