People are older than they used to be...

People are older than they used to be.
Everything is further away now than it used to be.
It is twice as far to the corner, and I’ve noticed they’ve added a hill.
I’ve given up running for the bus, it leaves faster than it used to.
It seems to me they are making steps steeper than in the good old days.
And have you noticed the smaller print they use in the newspapers?
There is no sense in asking anyone to read aloud – everyone speaks in such a low voice that I can hardly hear them.
The material in clothes is getting skimpy, especially round the waist and hips.
Even people are changing; they are so much older than I am.
I was thinking about that while I was combing my hair this morning. I glanced at my reflection, and confound it – they don’t make good mirrors like they used to.

My Grandma actually phoned the, then, Electricity Company to complain about it!
