Old People Talk Bollocks"My Gran calls the remote control The Wisher" writes Kim, "and LA Law, Lah Law." Do you know any old people? Are they as inventive or creatively befuddled as this?

My parents are really annoyingbecause they can't be bothered to pronounce anything properly. My dad calls asparagus "sparagrass", he's always asking me if I have a "Pilate" in the morning, as opposed to Pilates cless.
My mother is worse, she says Italian "eyetalian", and I ask her if those people come from Eyetaly, but she doesn't get it. She can't say "Barenaked Ladies", it comes out "Barelaked Nadies", and she has altered many common sayings, to come up with things such as "Useless as tits on a board." She also says if you eat undercooked meat you'll get "ibby-die-dibby", whatever that is. For years as a child, I thought that was a real disease.
