the majority of over 70,s who live in villages do shop every day after they do a larger shop at the weekend. mostly they have to rely on public transport so there is a limit they can carry. find it a bit of a change in what older people require. not too long ago there were plans to try to combat loneliness for them but now they are wanting em to stay indoors. the majority of this age group are women who seem to require more contact with others than blokes seem to need.
