It's often said that as women get older ( and/or fatter) they become less and less 'visible'. I have noticed it myself over the last few years. Yesterday I made a rare trip into town, I avoid it whenever possible it is just a shopping centre and like every other shopping centre is truly hateful lol, and yesterday of course was very busy as some of the shops had already started selling for 'Black Friday'. |

Is he really? Working must keep him young at heart, if not in years. I have bought the Big Issue in the past, but the messy ink put me off. |

The ink seems to be OK now +++DetEcTive+++ I get that problem with the local free advertiser though. |

I might try that Ann, I do sometimes do that little dance where you both move to the right at the same time and then left again and end up smiling foolishly lol. |

Well, if, her/him being intent on texting/talking on their phone makes everybody else invisible, is it really up to everyone else to move? |

I am amazed how invisible I have become since breaking my foot. |

I too have become invisible at times. I have had to stick my stick out slightly to h elp me regain my balance ;-), after being almost swept aside by the whirlwind of someone sweeping past me. Well I've done it just the once, and THEY apologised. Have also been known to stick out my extending elbows if someone tries to push in while I' m in a queue. |

Maggie, men walking up and down while on their phones are usually wearing suits so I assume they are 'really important people'. :-D ;-) |

OH used to do that (walk up and down) when he wore a suit. He still occasionally does it at home! Goodness knows why. It might be to aid concentration. He's ok sitting to take a social call, but starts to pace if he's asked to solve a problem. :-S |
