Nothing good ever comes from compliments with caveats attached. I speak as someone recently on the receiving end of one, courtesy of a Kwik Fit mechanic. Let’s call him Leon (because that’s his name). As he perused my driving licence details and noticed my date of birth, he said brightly, ‘1970? Shut up! I’m not even lying, you look good…’ Should have left it there, Leon. But instead, he went on to deliver the devastating left hook, ‘for your AGE’.
Oh Leon, telling me I look good for my age is a bit like telling me you adore me – despite what everyone says. It’s like saying I look so fabulous – you barely recognised me. It’s up there with that estate agent who told me how lovely my home is – it’s so lived in.
