old people and the wierdest they spout
My gran, ninety last week, frequently calls me on my mobile. As I work, this means she frequently gets through to my voicemail, where she will conduct a small conversation with the automated voice telling her to leave a message... thus, I recieve messages that begin with my grandmother thanking the woman in a posh voice, then pausing before slipping back into her Nottingham accent and leaving a surreal message, 'Matt, its mama, must tell you that the fishmonger on the market reckons he's out of crab next week but I don't like it anyway so I can't say i'm too upset etcetc'. When I eventually get to talk to her she acts as if there may be a hint of romance between telephone automatic voice woman and I....'so she was working for you again then Trumple, she sounds very well bought up'.
Still, where theres a will theres an expectant grandson...
