Glad always used to go out on the bus with Fred and his mate, one of the sausage sandwich gang and now, at ninety-eight, she is the oldest person in the village, a veritable institution.

After Fred left for the sausage sandwich emporium in the sky (if he is lucky!), she and his mate carried on their weekly trip.

I don't know the details, and this is what worries me, but Glad has not been on the bus for a couple of weeks because her daughter has had to take her for a doctor's appointment and now she is going to have a scan.

A little knowledge is a big worry but we don't want to lose Glad, not Glad, she has always been there.Not yet, she's only 98, what would we do without her?

It is good of you to be concerned about her welfare <3

sorry to say this but being the "oldest person in the village" puts a target on your back.....there is always some younger upstart willing to take your place......

only 98? plenty more sausage sandwich time!!

Aw Sharron, that's a worry. I hope you will find out something soon. Would you consider walking round to her house to check on her? or is that something you wouldn't like to do?

Here's hoping it's nothing serious. Let us know the when you have news.

You could call on her with a sausage sandwich.

Home made sausage sandwiches are not the same.

I remember my winter days on the Fish Docks at Grimsby having just finished my fish inspection duties at about 9.00am, having been in the cold from 5.00am; go into the café a couple of doors from the office, cut through the smoke and fug and have a nice greasy sausage sandwich and a mug of tea you could have used as varnish it was so strong.

True comfort! :-D :-D

The only thing better...bacon sandwiches.....

my vote goes to bacon sandwiches ........ always known in Lancashire as bacon butties :-D

I would choose bacon sarnies too lol

I hope Glad is ok and doesn't have anything seriously wrong with her, so she can continue on her outings.

At least you know what's in a bacon sarnie, do you know what's in a sausage ;-)

Who cares, David, that's part of the excitement...and taste ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I think if we clarify it would be a good sausage sandwich no cheap rubbish and name brand ketchup or brown sauce to taste....but yes in my book as much as I like sausage sandwiches a good hot bacon sandwich/buttie or even bun fresh from the stall at the market on a cold day beats them all.

Back to the main part of the thread......Sharron any news yet on Glad?

I think she goes for her scan next week.

I wonder if at 98 she'd like to know she has Worldwide attention right now?

Should we start a fan club?

She was one of Fred's sidekicks.

I think she deserves a fan club then :-)

Definitely! :-D

:-D

I nearly gave in ..... and made myself a bacon buttie for lunch

It has been rather cool and damp here.

But I resisted!!!
