This tale about an old lady in the Co-op is one of the greatest ever Twitter threads
It looked like she’d scored a 1-0 victory …but there was a late goal, and she walked away with the big trophy, having put one over on the heavy-handed duo.
He suddenly stood back with his hands up. As if he’d been told she was wearing a suicide vest.
The old woman walked through the door, stopped briefly at the bin outside, reached into her pocket and dropped the tomato in the bin.

She didnt need to give them the finger, as her look said it all.
The two guards dropped their shoulders but then they turned as one to look at me. As if it was all my fault.
I was suddenly aware that I hadn’t made a purchase and couldn’t remember what door I came in.

Matty Philpotts had a question.
What sort of area do you live in where a co-op has two security guards?
— Matty Philpotts (@mattyjmp23) 9 January 2020
The answer Rab gave was the only acceptable one.
One full of feisty old ladies 😊
