No wonder you're grumpy! I hope the lad was not too disappointed. Did he teach the missus how to use her phone?

I think a lot of pubs do a pensioner special to get some business at quiet times. They just need to be able to cope with demand.

Mate, he's scary with mobile phones. He can turn a Samsung off and on quicker than an adult can.

At home, his parents have a recliner sofa, but it's the manual one where you pull a lever and it flies up, and you have to push the support back with your hands. We, of course, have an electric one with buttons for up and down. It took him about four or five minutes to work out that he couldn't push the leg support down with his hands and that he needed to use the buttons. Once he'd mastered that, it was a great game, making nanny go up and down! "Pete! Tell him!"
/me rolls around in fits of laughter.

Kids are so used to everything being controlled by screens and buttons now. Mine used to get excited pressing the buttons at a crossing. I'm sort of glad they grew up before smartphones really took off. It will be different as and when I have grandkids.
