What is going on? Then I noticed 2 things.
1. Most of the people walking around were of retirement age probably 70%.
2. There was a huge line up for the teller at EVERY bank and building society in the centre, snaking through the bank premises and out on to the footpath.
Then it dawned on me... it was pension day.
I thought to myself..Why would elderly people some of whom had mobility issues want to come out into this mad rush and line up for ages at the bank, supermarket etc? It was as busy as the week before Christmas. Why not wait till the next day or the following Monday?
