My Gran
Has to be seen to be believed.

First time she met Mrs Brocky, she made her pull her finger, then farted.

Any meal we go out on and take her along, she brings her own doggy bag with her and literally pours the entire plate into it. That will last her a full week for food.

Is by no means short of cash and is very generous on birthdays, Xmas etc. but won't spend any on herself. Buys all her clothes from Jumble Sales, sits in the dark when watching telly at night to save electricity and is never seen without at least 3 cardigans on (even on the hottest days in the summer).

Claims that she isn't racist but threatens to vote BNP. She says she can't be racist as she likes people from Australia, New Zealand & Canada and once new a "coloured" person who was nice (from Jamaica). Basically anyone is OK as long as they are from the Commonwealth and are white. Don't get her started on the Germans or the Japanese as the war will raise it's ugly head again.

I've lost count of the number of arguments we've had where I try to explain that people of different races can be British or English if they were born here and have the same rights as everybodty else. She normally ends the argument by tutting and saying that she'll be dead but "they'll take over the country, then we'll be sorry".

Still love her to bits and wouldnt change her for the world though.
