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 Dear Old Grannow sadly departed, could be a bit of a fruit cake at times. When seeing me for the last time before I went off to Uni, she told me that the recipe for being happy was to avoid "religion, politics, and those lesbians."
Now I come to think about her, I also remember her asking me what I wanted for my birthday. This being the early 80's and me being an impressionable young teenager, I replied as a throwaway comment "Seb Coe please gran".
My birthday arrived and my gran said very seriously, "I'm sorry dear, you'll have to make do with this. I ordered Seb Coe but they delivered Steve Ovett instead and I had to send him back."
