I was saddened News Shopper gave the Pensioners Clog Up My Weekends letter star letter status.

Firstly, I am a pensioner, I am 70. It's only a number. I am still working and I don't belong to the blue rinse brigade or shuffling old duffers.

Such rude comments - I wonder what the writer of the letter looks like.

We all have choices on how we present ourselves.

If shopping is proving to be difficult there are options, you can use the internet and have it delivered, and there are many supermarkets open 24 hours.

How did we manage with no Sunday shopping, half day in the week and no butchers on a Monday?

There is lots I could say but would prefer to spend my time out shopping with my family - we enjoy it.

My daughter works during the week, girls are at school five days a week doing GCSEs and A Levels
