What are some typical granny behaviours you don't see any more?

Mine does this still. She has a walking frame and a bus stop outside her flat - whilst she's not great at navigating generally and is a lot less confident these days as a widow, she has the timetable for that bus route memorised and takes it every week into town. Gets a coffee and a sandwich at the cafe (she's moved upmarket these days and gets a latte instead of tea strong enough to stand the spoon up in with four sugars), pokes around the shops, chews the ear off of just about any shop assistant in range, then potters back to the bus station to ride home. It's harder after her mates died. She used to meet three others, she's the last survivor of them. She used to meet her younger brother to do the big shop at Morrisons but he died a few years ago too. And now the town itself is dropping to bits. The buses are delayed and don't run as often. Lots of the smaller shops she visited closed down, as did some of the chains she liked. My mam takes her to Lidl every week. I take the train through and go for lunch with her when I'm off work, she's picked up a taste for Japanese, surprisingly. My cousin takes her out to the suburban retail parks when she wants some other stuff. End of an era, isn't it?
