MY 80-YEAR-old mother-in-law came round for tea yesterday embarrassed by a recent shopping trip.
While visiting a charity store in Burnley she spotted a fifty-something neighbour flouncing out of the changing room in a rather unbecoming short skirt more suitable for a teenage girl.
"What do you think?" asked the neighbour twirling around in front of the mirror.
"It’s not for you, love, awful colour and far too short to be decent," replied my mother-in-law.
"I’m asking you about the top," snapped the indignant neighbour. "The skirt’s my own!"
