My 86 year old Nan always cracks us up over the Crimbo period by saying or doing something that she should have thought about a bit more thoroughly. For example:
(Mid conversation about night clubs or dancing etc)
Nan: "In my day we used to do the Jitterbuggery until the early hours of the morning. Your Grandfather used to love doing the Jitterbuggery"
Any other old folk corkers?
