There are some who say the old ladies are right to be dominant. After all, there are _entire economies_ based on the logarithmic carrying power of a little old lady bent over double. But those people have been threatened by the militant arm of the little old ladies, The Raging Grannies. Sure, they _say_ they’re just singers, but we know better. ---

The problem is that they are organised. They have even infiltrated the vacation industry. Coach tours, bus loads of them invading tourist areas. Coach arrives and droves of these monsters descend on the gift shops, buying up all those hideous little “Present from \” trinkets that they then give to their unsuspecting relatives. Then they move on to the coffee shops to buy cookies and milk, bumping anyone who gets in their way using the “Sorry deary can you just help me with this tray” ploy to get to the front of the queue. Someone mentioned gin earlier in this thread, but what about [hates to mention this, shudders just thinking about it] Sweet Sherry Invented by Portugese Little Old Ladies ---
