It’s time we called out those day-to-day moments when we’re patronised for no longer being young. A phrase which has gathered a lot of momentum in the last few months is ‘Covid brain’. I had it just a moment ago, must be Covid brain’; or ‘Where did I put my glasses, I’m sure I put them right here, must be Covid brain’; or . Though not quite as irritating or unfunny as the phrase ‘senior moment’, I wish people wouldn’t use it. ‘That’s not Covid brain,’ I wanted to shout, ‘that’s you forgetting the name of someone you haven’t seen for years who you didn’t know very well.’We had company so I didn’t, but I plan to have a word.
