My Grandad...

[ummmm]

Has just phoned me and asked could I get him £2.50's worth of stewing steak and 1 carrot.

I think I'm going to look an idiot buying just one carrot from the greengrocer...

when i had a saturday job on the tills, years ago, i once served one of the loacl nuns.
Her basket contained 4 cucumbers and 2 bottles of wine, nothing else!

[ummmm]

Waste not, want not, eat it even if it doesn't smell right..!!

I took my Nan round to see him (she's in a home) and I usually go and get them some lunch. He wasn't hungry. He had some cooked sausages in the fridge and I said maybe I'd make Nan a sausage sandwich. No...they were his sausages..!!!

My Grandad sent to to the butchers for 2 thin pork sausages, 1 rasher of bacon and a slice of black pudding. I felt a right wallly until the butcher said " you'll be shopping for old Mr ???? then"

maybe spains different, its quite common to see people in my fruteria(greengrocer) buying single items, i even starrted to myself now. mind you its literally a 2 min walk.

[ummmm]

He just happened to want me to peel his spuds when I got there...then his carrot...and then he asked me to chop his onion...

[ELVIS68]

Ah bless you ummmm

[welshlibranr]

Oh ummmm, if that's what he wants!...............no problem!.............

[ummmm]

Of course it's no problem...

The other week he was put to bed by the carers...and then phoned my Uncle to ask him if he could come round and take a chicken thigh out of the fridge for him because he was a bit peckish..

This man can move btw...he's just spoilt :-))
