    My Great Aunt was a complete moan but just before she died she got worse, It was like she knew she was going to kick the bucket, so she had to get as much Bítching in as possible.

    Watching the news with her one evening not long before she went, there was a feature on it about a gay rights march! Your one pipes up...."This world has gone mad with all these Gays, Listbeans and Transistors!", I was laughing so hard I nearly wet myself. When I finally pulled myself together and Told her it was Gay, Lesbien and transexual, I was in fits again, she looked at me, really pissed off and said "I don't know what your laughing at....Your uncle is one!.....I'm still wondering to this day which one:D Gay or transexual

    well.... she'd hardly get better at it.



    im granny was the only non racist old person ive ever met....


    Really hated the gays though.... and husbands who don't look after their wifes ( theirs no such a thing as divorce in her head... :eek: )

    apart from that ive never heard any old people say anything bad other then racial slur.... But everyones a racist these days.

    I was at an ATM one day and there was an old lady standing in front of me talking to the machine.

    I asked if she needed any help and she said, "No no, I'm just asking the machine how much I need".

    God love her. She thought that you just ask the machine how much you wanted. Automatic Teller Machine... Was very funny and the look on her face was priceless.

    My Australian uncle Mel said some crazy stuff about the Jews a while back when he got pulled over by the cops.

    Oh Crazy Uncle Mel, whatever will you do next?

    In the pub one lunchtime with my Grandad. Someone turned on 50 cent "In Da Club" on the jukeamabox... He shouts out

    "Who the **** put on that ****** music!!!!!!"

    Hilarious.

    The racist ol' coot!

    Old lady (80 or so years old)across the road came into the house years ago and had a coffee and a smoke before she went to "Wiggies" to get her hair cut.

    The hairdressers was in fact Ziggy's!!

    I fell around laughing at her...

    My next door neighbours are elderly and believe that the automated voice coming from their home alarm system is a real person working in the alarm company who is especially assigned to monitor their home.They're always telling us how he's a "lovely lad" and how he is never impolite or impatient if you enter the password incorrectly etc. and never rushes them.They think he's fond of them and they find it very reassuring.
    I have never had the heart to tell them the truth or ask why he never responds when they're roaring things like "happy Christmas" and "are ya still working at this hour ???" etc into the console on the wall :)

    i brought a lad home to meet my folks and my nan was there, this lad was not blessed with very good looks, a nice guy though, any how when he left i asked what everyone thought of him, my nice quiet old nan said
    "he must have a chocolate cock" there was just silence then my sister fell around laughing, nan was diagnosed with dementia soon after and came out with a lot of stuff that i cant remember just now

    My gran saw the priest walking up to the front door and said "Ah, here comes that f*ggot again". She was always calling people that, must have had some other meaning to her/old people.

    Peter Kay had another great one when he was telling his gran about Sky+ and that you can pause live tv. Apparently his gran said "but what about everyone else" - as in the entire country would be waiting for her to finish making tea :D

    Some malapropisms that old dears I've known have come out with:

    -"A mixture of the scared and the profane" (obviously meant 'sacred')

    -"Up there in the aclove [sic]" (meant to say 'alcove'!)
