My Dear Old Nan...
Many years ago (I was about 10) we were on a family holiday in Cyprus. We were sat outside a bar about 8pm and the air was starting to get a nip in it.

Suddenly, up pipes Nan: "Look at that poor woman over there, she's got no arms!" she says with great concern.

"Mother, she's wearing a shawl" points out my mum with some disdain...

A Couple of years later we were on another Holiday and my Nan decides she needs the loo. When she returns she has a stern look on her face because "There was a woman coming out of the toilets when I went in, I said hello but she completely ignored me!".

A few minutes later my Mum returns from said convenience. "Mother, this woman who ignored you; what was she wearing?" says mum. "Oh, she was dressed a bit like me" says Nan.

It only turns out there is a full length mirror behind the door...
