That old man eating loaf! Old people can be nasty too;there should be laws protecting the public from the viciousness they can sometimes exhibit because some of them are not very nice!I remember I used to take a short-cut from school just to realise midway that the old folk had banned the use of the short-cut without notice,and he had strategically disguised himself in waiting,for unsuspecting students.You would know something was amiss(peace) by having a panga land ferociously on your path!!
