she launched straight in with ‘And you’re not getting any slimmer are you?’
So that was nice 😉

Hm – I suppose telling one’s granny to F*** off isn’t really an option? 😉

well probably not 🙁 Just as well I am not delicate about the whole subject though eh? Comments like that could have you heading straight for the fridge 🙂

How about “Well, ou’re not getting any younger, but at least I could do something about my weight!”

lol – believe me I’ve considered all sorts of retorts but TBH she is such a sad and bitter old lady with nothing in her life (can’t imagine why 😉 ) that I simply feel sorry for her and carry on enjoying my life. It’s almost the comedy moment I expect eagerly now!

Sounds like my nan Nic – have dreamt up many many snappy answers which I have never used, lol! Most of her unpleasant comments have since been transmogrified into family comic legend 🙂

My retorts have never been used on my grandmother either – but then again I decided never to speak to her to make life easier. I’m not saying she has 666 tatooed on her forehead but…..

Grans are great, aren’t they? Mine is not so much known for her criticisms of family, but her incredibly racist comments. They are sooooo way out it becomes almost funny, but it’s her we’re laughing at. And no, I can’t bring myself to give an example in public.
