Feeling out of step?

What is wrong with feeling, or being out of step? I have been out of step all my life and I have never wasted a second on being concerned about it.

I do understand being irritated by those who take the high moral tone and condemn other peoples taste. Is there any insult more potent than being told you look frumpy or your taste in shops is frumpy?

I’m out of step because I like to be. Who wants to follow the herd ?

As long as you do exactly what Delia tells you, everything will be fine😬

I gave up on Tesco forever when they introduced that This price with your Clubcard, but extortionate without.

And I was sitting in my nice woolly Joules cardigan when the news broke☹️

I could have written this word for word. As well as the writers you name I also consult Prue Leith and Mary Berry.

You’re not alone Maw! I doubt we agree on everything, but I’m with you on most of that!
Must be the Scottish genes.😂

Who wants to follow the crowd. Not me.

Just do what makes you happy......as long as you don't scare the horses. 😉

Bless me GN I cannot tell a lie but speaking from a distinctly minority position it seems I must confess the following GN sins-
I like Joules (also Seasalt, White Stuff, Boden and Emma Bridgewater, but have gone off Hotter) and I take exception to my style choices bring disparaged as frumpy
I still consult Delia, Nigella and Jamie-also Katie Stewart
I would not have Bisto in my kitchen - there are excellent stocks in sachets in the supermarket, including turkey
I don’t care for turkey anyway , would rather have a couple of ribs of beef
I hate Tesco and never shop there either in person or on line so I was happy to snooze through the wee small hours, as well as the big ones
I won’t even give a thought to Christmas decs until 10 days before the Day, and that’s only because I am having the whole extended family here on the 18 th, otherwise that would be “decorating” weekend
So as I said, clearly in a minority of one but I take comfort in the Scottish saying “They’re a’ oot o’ step except puir wee Jock”
