2012, "Dave Plowman (News)" remarked:
I'm thinking of my friends, retired farm workers, who are living on a
pathetic pension and yet have to drive 16 miles to the nearest shop.

These are the majority of OAPs requiring a complete change in the way
things are done just to suit them?

Wouldn't it be better if they weren't living on a 'pathetic' pension?

They probably couldn't afford to save very much, on account of spending
all that money travelling 16 miles to the nearest shop.

Other thing is it's unlikely they will be able to drive all their lives
so what happens then?

They either have to move somewhere closer to a shop, or maybe there will
be an increase in mobile shops in the future, as even those in work will
be hard pressed to afford to drive to the shops.

or get Tesco, etc, to deliver?
