Old is gold: Beware the beast in us


There are many circumstances that can test our patience to the max and bring out our ugly side.

The refrain of a song, Say You, Say Me, brings back memories of working life in the 1980s.

The atmosphere would be tense and ripe for open hostile confrontation and a nasty exchange of words.
