Grumpy

In the past week there have been 2  murderous attacks in Canada and one in NYC by recent converts to the religion of peace. Many of societies malcontents and misfits tend to find a voice for their discontent by drifting to whatever ism is in favour at a given time,nazism,communism,islamism ism ism ism! it seems some people are just not happy unless causing grief. I've never felt the need to voice any of my grievances by joining anything until a few years ago when I joined SPAB, a society dedicated to following the teachings of William Morris (pbuh).We are not a particularly nasty bunch as we are more likely to sneak around to your house when you are out and re thatch it or fit stone mullions and we are often found singing the praise of lime mortar.My dear wife puts my zealousness for sympathetic repairs down to my metamorphosing into a typical grumpy old man,I'm not sure about the old bit, but grumpy?.....if the hat fits...wear it.

Hilarious!! we need more groups like that. Like little elves with a mission.
I have become terribly grumpy in my old age, the veritable curmudgeon in the corner.
I think the positive californians must find me hard work

Much of this stems from those awful aluminium replacement windows being flogged during the 'seventies!

The style of later PVC windows only made matters worse...

if you live in England and you are not grumpy you are either on drugs or not paying attention. I beat the rush and got grumpy when I left my teens.

With the backing of Kitchner and the guile Curzon they didn't have to be nasty all by themselves! Good grumpy show!
