oh dear!
My mum is a bit like that, she watches TV a lot then decides she knows much better than me at everything. Like what I should wear to work, despite her never having an office job and I work in a specific industry, every time it's my birthday or xmas I get "work" clothes (suits, waistcoats, smart shirts, pinstripe trousers, sensible shoes) , even though my job is ultra casual/kinda hip and if you wear shoes rather than trainers everyone goes "ooooh got a job interview today?" and her asking me if I'm "networking" properly because she saw some documentary on office politics, in fact it was probably the movie "office space"!
She also just comes out with very old fashioned ridiculous views on things or just focuses on one aspect of something, like when I went to Japan she was convinced I'd end up murdered, even though it's really safe there, yes some western women have been killed in Japan, but more are killed in London! Right now it's that I should buy a car, even though I can't drive. She think it would be more efficient, and quicker than the tube (it wont) and I'd save money.
Her "You should buy a car blah blah:
Me "I can't afford it, it's too expensive to run and I'd have to pay if something went wrong"
Her " You can afford it! I was talking to this woman at Tesco and her daughter..."
Me (in my head) SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
Me (out loud) Alright mum, I'll think about it, but i don't think i can afford it.
It may be difficult, but you might want to talk to your friend about the tube, some have really steep access but if you look on the map there are several with disabled access icons and there's step free access at those stations
But of course I'm sure she already knows that!
also, Hash browns?!
