Two tier

I have a message for you from my wife.
I am 75 years old, cannot drive because of poor eyesight and have sore knees.
My wife was born ten weeks premature in 1949 weighing less than two pounds in weight. She was a twin but her brother did not survive.
Her optic nerve did not spilt resulting in my wife only having sight in her right eye.
There was no special care baby unit in DRI in 1949.

I'm sure your wife is a lovely lady and she must have the patience of a saint to tolerate you. However that has what to do with getting on a bus?

When M & S were in the Murraygate she got the 22 bus which stopped in the Seagate almost directly across the Seagate from M & S which she cannot do now that M & S are situated in the Gallagher Retail park.
I raised this problem with my local councillor and she told me that M & S applied for planning permission to open their store in Gallagher Retail park which resulted in their store in the Murraygate closing down.
I also told my councillor my wife had heard that M & S previously wanted to move into the former Debenhams store in the Overgate Centre but the Dundee City Councillors refused to allow them to move.
My councillor never confirmed if my wife’s information was correct or not.

OK, that's cleared something up. M&S wanted the move and it had absolutely nothing to do with the council.

Your wife can get off the 22 bus at Wishart Centre from where it's just a short walk to the Gallacher Retail Park. I also suffer from some knee pain but find that staying active actually helps alleviate the discomfort.

I've had another think. How about rather than you driving your wife to M&S then returning home to await the phone call why not stay there and help your wife with the shopping then drive home? That's most likely the solution I'd come up with as it would save on both time and fuel, is the most environmentally friendly solution if public transport is a problem and allows you to spend some time with the good lady.

I always go shopping with my wife, that way I can get all the little things that I need but she never thinks of - like peanut M&Ms for example.

Wait till your are 75 years old and your knees are painful then you might change your tune.
Tramping up and down hills in Scotland will certainly not help your knees.

My knees have been painful for years. I find walking is the best way to alleviate the pain.

Today is our 44th wedding anniversary.
Marriage is a like supporting Dundee FC. You have ups and downs but you stick with it for life.

I actually agree with that. And the bus?

I use the bus when I need to as I have a National Entitlement Card.
My GP told me to use my age to my advantage.

You really are the master of deflection. Why doesn't your wife get a bus down to M&S and then you pick her up later? Or why don't you drive her down, stay with her and do the shopping with her?
