Subject: RE: BS: Grandpas are for
I remember both my grandfathers very well. One was a cobbler and the other a binman( garbage collector). The cobbler let me work around the shop with little pieces of leather etc. The other would sing me songs (if I would Borrow som of my father's pipe tobacco tobacco for him).

Now that I am a grandfather six times over I want my grandchildren to remember me as someone who

1 - made them laugh
2 - nearly always took their sides.
3 - Invited them down to the monthly Jam Sessions and bought them op and chips.
