Word of the wise
Emma’s grandma offered us a plethora of parenting advice yesterday, my favourites were:
‘Of course, you get no joy from your first’ (number of children she had? One)
‘Well, in my day Family Allowance was a Crown a week, nowadays they get POUNDS!’
The latter comment sparked a(nother) diatribe about the state of the social welfare system. Apparently people now get their benefits delivered 'to their door' (these people being all lazy good-for-nothings). When asked if she went to the Post Office to collect her pension she replied “Oh no dear, I get it paid straight into the bank”.
