Just learnt I 'm about to be a grandfather. :w00t: How did that happen? Here's me thinking I'm well cool.
When I was a nipper, grandfathers were:
Born while Victoria was still on the throne.
Wore a dark wescot with a fob watch on a chain and a pair of britches.
5' 2" tall and called Emmanuel.
Had a scrub up in a tin bath in front of the fire on a Saturday night.
Gave you 'half a dollar' for your birthday ( that's when we had 4 dollars to the pound).
Plunged a hot poker into a glass of Guinness to 'get some iron in me'.
Had 14 children and didn't own a car.
Went to 'pit with a snap tin, a bottle of cold tea and some snuff.
