    My late gran bothered a lot. However my mum laid down the law after she found it my gran had told off a bunch of late teens running up and down the train carriages in a kind of gang kerfuffle thing. She told them she's seeing the guard and she had spotted that knife up his sleeve.  The lad was all apologetic and embarrassed. He pulled the knife out to half show my gran and said its just for self defence and he'd never actually use it. Quite a nice sheath knife too.

    The youths ended up sitting down and behaving until the next stop and they had to do a runner with the cops after them. 

    Another she stopped burglars hopping over a fence of a neighbour to break in at their leisure in the back.  Sent them packing too. Typical liverpudlian of her generation.

    OH’s late Gran had a corner shop in Runcorn. One day a group of lads sitting on the wall across the road were giving her some cheek as she watered her plant pots ... she turned the hose on them ... she was scary 😧

    Why is it that the minute you put the hose away, you spot something you missed?😐

    These plants pick up their bad habits from the single item of dropped laundry that springs into view the moment after you turn on the washing machine.

    Ours can be paused if you catch it before the water gets above the bottom of the door, but it takes a couple of minutes for it to unlock the door. Actually I think it can be paused any time, but it would be silly to open the door after the water level gets up to it :#
