Have you ever overheard a conversation about yourself, failed to speak up and, later wished that you had done so?
Some time ago I was strolling along with my guide dog when I overheard an elderly lady remark to her companion,
“He’s blind”.
In retrospect I should have come back with the quick fire response,
“But he’s not deaf”.
I did, however hold my tongue. There is, as is said in the north of England, “nowt so queer as folk” and the above snippet of conversation acts as living proof of this fact.

Sigh. Indeed, people don’t stop to think sometimes.
Indeed they don’t. Thanks for your comment. Kevin
You are welcome.
How annoying. Luckily, I have never heard anyone say anything about me. Guess you were more interesting than I must be
What a great reply, “but he’s not deaf”.lol You should have answered her.
Yes I should! Thanks for your comment. Best. Kevin
