Older Generation

Sunday and we are decamped into the hall which has large space heater halogen lamps provided by our builders. They emit a warm orange glow, which is meant to make you warm... By the end of the service nobody is quite sure if the warming effect is psychological or real. I discover three old ladies and an elderly gentlenan sat in the coldest part of the building giggling over their cups of tea.
"Why don't you come into the warmth?"
"We went through the war."
As I walk away laughing I hear them laughing back... "young people today, no stamina!"
