Judging young people by their ties? What nonsense! — Column (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's a symbol of respect, order and care. A tie is what sets apart the man who has his life together from the one who doesn't. The lack of ties around the necks of young people today is a telling and potent indication of ethical decline. Or so a series of Facebook posts I read tried to convince me. Somehow my algorithm has twigged the fact that I'm getting on a bit. It therefore tries to feed me this kind of nonsense. Young people are bad because they don't wear ties?

An 'outstanding piece of theatre' - Lovesong proves to be a proper weepie (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
Spotted in traffic the other day: a car sticker declaring "Elderly Driver – Please Be Patient." Now, I have a personal stake here, having recently crossed the threshold into my 60th year. By most modern metrics, that puts me in the departure lounge of middle age, cruising towards the foothills of the elderly. Of course, "elderly" is relative. When you are 20, someone of 25 is an archaeological relic. For my venerable mother, I am still something of a spring chicken. But it does raise a delicate
