My 99 year old Grandma on visiting her 94 year old sister in a chapel of rest last week said.... "Oh Win, if you could see the way they have done your hair you'd die" then realised what she said and got a fit of the giggles!!

For 2 weeks my mother-in-law went into a very nice home so my husband and I could go on holiday. On her return home she said she would never go in there again. Quite concerned we asked her why. Her reply 'it's full of old people'. She was 92 at the time. Jean.

Ex Boyfriend in a London Pub said to 2 very good looking ladies (Iwas just stood there) "So what part of Glasgow are you from?" He was a Glaswegian you see and thought he recognised the accent..... Much to my amusement they replied "Edinburgh" He wanted the ground to swallow him up and fortunately one day it will.....
