Just stopped in before she goes to work for the night (7 nights in a row at the care home this week) anyway, Grandad managed to get through all the errors of society, about how crime is getting worse, how we should bring back the birch and cat o ninetails. Then he moved onto the Royal Family and how Diana was much more beautiful than Camilla and how she was murdered etc etc. Then onto my new coat which apparently, back when he came back from Africa he had to get 3 new suits as he had no 'english clothes' when he returned. He paid £200 back in the 50's for an overcoat in his wage as a bus conductor, which he got by forging his birth cert as he was only 15 and needed to be 18. Back then, there was this one guy who used to give him £1 note for thruppence fare every morning. He knew my grandad wouldn't have the change at the start of the day so always got on free. So one day grandad got the 50 coins needed in change and dropped them in his lap the next he tried it. He got pulled up for it as you can't give out that much change in one go. Anyway back to the Royal Family, Wallice Simpson, abdication. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shut up!

Your Grandad is probably right in what he say's. You should be glad you got one to tell you stories. A lot of us never knew our Grandparents, and here we all are trying our best to find out more about them. I think if you put him on e-bay you would get a fortune lol. Well, they sell everything else don't they ? Marion

Dan, I think you may mean the 'birch' & cat o'ninetails chuck! lol :0) Joan

He can go off on one though. He's got a mixture of scouse and irish accent which makes it an even more strange situation. I try to understand what he's talking about but his views change every week :-)

Ha ha, just noticed. I'll change it

Daniel!!! Poor Grandad....he speakes alot of truths,,yyou'll be same when you get old---:-)). kay.

Poor Grandad, you should have respect for your elders wee man

He's not some old idiot or anything, wetting himself every five mins. He's still working and what have you but he does have a habit go on about the old days and how it's geting worse. No deterrent dagnammit.

Dagnammit????? Think you spent too long in my company earlier...turned you funny

Daniel Listen to your grandad. Wish I had, get him talking about his family etc. amazing how you don't listen when you are young then wish you had when you get old. Induge us old uns. Germaine x

He's the maternal grandad so he's with the O'sheas. Irish family who don't talk to each other and who call themselves by different first names. He tries his best but communication with the others is practically non-existant.

Daniel, You'll do just the same --you'll be saying you your grandkids all the things he is saying to you,,,, From about the price of cloths,,,to what a pint cost in 2005,to fashion of the day...even down to the music,,,, kay.

Germaine, Dan's granddads probably only in his forties lol!!! Ah, he's Irish is he Dan? That explains a lot. :0) Joan

Yes Joan that is what I thought bet he'd think I am ancient in my fifties. I remember my cousin telling my Dad about someone said he is good and old like you and aunt Win they were 40 at the time. Funny cause my kids are starting to talk like that now. It comes to us all Dan Germaine x

Daniel Longman, I am laughing so much I'm worried I'm going to have a heart attack. I've told my grandson to sue you if I do. lol Your grandad sounds a man after my own heart. You would do well to listen to him. One day you will be saying the same things to your grandson. It's called 'history repeating itself'. Jean x.

:-) He's 63 and has a full head of black hair, as did his dad when he died in his 90's. He's the main shareholder in the family joinery business in Liverpool which am an Heir to. 60%. Just a matter of time. Tick tick tick

Oh! Danny Boy, PMSL.

Daniel, LOL!!one day you will look back at these times with fondness, trust me!

Oh goody I am marrying a hare

Daniel Longman you wicked little monkey!!!!! Hope he lives for ever,,,,mind just think of all them posh fish and chips you can have,,)) kay,
