STILL THERE?
Sir-I wish kindly folk would aban don that greeting to the elderly-‘How are you keeping?" It always strikes me as rather absurd, and it is a definite reminder that one is now looked on somewhat as a sack of doubtful potatoes, or a case of apples too long out of cold storage. The inquiry indicates surprise at one’s still being there at all, mixed with the conviction that probably a rot has set in.
