Perhaps I’ve discovered a Law of Inverse Behaviours: People who are tidy at home are thoughtless in public, and people who are thoughtless at home are tidy in public. I wonder how they react at home if a young person pushes them out of the way, or leaves an obstacle in the middle of the room? If they don’t drive them like Sherman tanks to push you out of the way, they simply leave them stuck in the middle of an aisle so that you can’t get past. While we’re at it, let’s consider what mature people do with supermarket trolleys. When you ask them pleasantly if they have an aversion to white lines, they get worked up and even nasty. They can be people of our age (whatever that might mean). I’m tempted to slide my walking stick out just a few centimetres so that they trip over, but that wouldn’t be nice, would it?Īnd those people who park their cars at an angle across two parking spaces aren’t necessarily careless youngsters. No worries, they assume that they have the right of way. You’re walking quietly in the crowd at a shopping centre, and someone barges into you. Have you noticed how some nicely dressed middle-aged and elderly people throw their supermarket baskets onto the pile of empties? They can’t be bothered to stack them neatly and fold back the handle so that the next person can get a basket in. I’m talking about grown-ups as well as teenagers.īut when they do this sort of thing in public, I reckon that’s going too far. If they push other family members out of the way, who are we to interfere? When they hog the whole of a sofa, leaving no room for anyone else, others must put up with it. If people want to throw things on the floor at home, that’s their business.

The conditional reference was done in a fashion that we felt described the quality or condition of each piece. This may not always be in agreement with all price or collector guides. “Rarity” is a very difficult attribute to determine, but we considered how often these pieces have come across our auction block in the past several years to make that distinction. However, many pieces are hand wrought for a particular purpose and no reference to their use exists.
