Re: Perks of Old Age !
some funnies there. Ouch Emjay, HWMO and I are both going tomorrow morning for ours.By the way, I know this is off topic but it's vexing me. If anyone is ofay with grammar, just a question please.
When I typed "HWMO and me" my grammarly corrected me by saying I should put the word "I" in, but it didn't seem to make sense.... and I are going.... so had to add the word "both" to make sense of it. I could understand if it should read I am going... but I are going... ??? am I wrong or should I have said "I". It will drive me mad until I find out the answer. Thanks
"HWMO and I are going" DOH!

Re: Perks of Old Age !
Thank goodness it's Friday. I have just had a week of getting up at 5 am to 5.30 am as HWMO, although fully retired, helped out his previous company by doing some Fire Training classes for them whilst his replacement has been off ill.I now know that retirement has finished me as a useful person in employment, I am now just a tired pensioner.

It's worth checking up on because one of the most common mistakes people make is with pronouns, often mistakenly believing I is correct in instances where it isn't. It's easy once you get the hang of it, and I don't claim to never make any mistakes myself but I have to be aware of others whilst proofreading.
During my illness I couldn't concentrate for more than 10 minutes at a time so work was onerous.
