I'll just add this to make more sense of the original post
My grandmother used to be a very capable and (in her own way) quite powerful woman. Think Mrs Thatcher and you're not far wrong...

...now she has become Mrs Brady, Old Lady (the Viz character, a stereotype of old people who fuss too much and talk bollocks).

Really, there's no need for her to be around any more. She's got nothing to look forward to except death, she knows this and is understandably depressed.

Me seeing her like this is making me smoke, drink and eat for England just to ensure I never get to her age !

Just wondering what other B3tan's views are on this subject, if of course it's ever entered your heads...
