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 GranNow long since passed on thought that electricity poured out of a socket if you turned the switch on with nothing plugged into it.
My other gran, lived to be 94, had all her marbles, was very together. She used to have a keen interest in all the goings on of her grad kids. Whenever we had an important thing coming up (job interview, exams etc) she would 'put a pin in the sofa' for us. This was some old folklore from her parents who were Lithuanian/jewish immigrants. Anyway, it worked, and now that she's gone, I've got to stick my own pins in the sofa!!
