Crazy Relativescurvylittlegoth writes, "My Grandma is crazy, crazy mad. As well as regularly putting curses on us all, she once fell asleep in the armchair on a sunny afternoon, Barley Wine in one hand, Peter Stuyveson in the other, only to wake up several hours later to a Darth Vader sounding fireman. She thought she was in HELL as the smoke and flames billowed round her..."
Are any of your relatives this loopy?

Gluttonous great auntMy late Great-Aunty Annie lived through the austerity of the war years and made up for it when rationing ended.
My mother stayed with her for a while before my parents were married. Meals consisted of:
1. Breakfast. A big fry-up.
2. Elevenses. Tea, cake and biscuits.
3. Lunch at 12 o'clock sharp, meat and two veg.
4. Afternoon tea at 4. Sandwiches.
5. High tea at 5. A light meal.
6. Dinner at 7. A big meal.
7. If you didn't plead illness and scarper upstairs to bed, supper at 9.
She lived to a ripe old age, but must have needed a spherical coffin.
