Comments on: Phil Maxwell’s Old Ladies in Colour https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/06/24/phil-maxwells-old-ladies-in-colour/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:46:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Dot https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/06/24/phil-maxwells-old-ladies-in-colour/#comment-94955 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:46:23 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=65275#comment-94955 In the majority of these pictures the ladies look miserable, I feel it would of been kinder if you had asked permission first, as these set of pictures do not do justice to the great ladies of the East End.

When we want to honor so-called old ladies we refer to them as elderly ladies.

When I lived in UK I heard the expression “old dear” –which seems kinder than old lady.
