"Hi Great Grandad!"

I don't know about you, but when I was a toddler I had never met a Great Grandad, or even a Grandad.

None of mine were anywhere near still being around.

I go to golf, each week and play golf with 12 blokes, of a certain age, (70-85) and they are all qualified Grandads or, like myself, Great Grandads.

Also, like myself, they mostly have been fixed with Pacemakers, Prostate removals & fixing, Stents, you name it.

They are all still here!

Why am I raising this?

Well, we hear so much about our NHS and many complain about it.

But it's keeping us alive.

How times have changed.

You can't see me but I am raising a glass to our NHS.

Thanks people!

Re: "Hi Great Grandad!"

Ted, l can’t believe that l am going to be a great grandmother in March.

Please don’t tell anyone......my ‘street cred’ has been shattered enough from first becoming a grandmother nearly 25 years ago.

For me, eating properly has kept me alive.

I only knew my grandma on my mothers side, never had a grandad. Now I am a grandad with 4 grandkids and still don't realise it

Re: "Hi Great Grandad!"

I'll join you in that drink Tedc. As a Grandad of fourteen Grandkids, six of them Great Grandkids. Thanks to our NHS for keeping me alive to this grand old age and still be able to enjoy my extended family along with my wife.

Re: "Hi Great Grandad!"

How blessed you lot are,
I'm praying to one day here the words 'you're going to be a grandma' something I dream of.

Enjoy your beautiful offsprings offspring, but then, I already know you do. x

Re: "Hi Great Grandad!"

I would love to have great grandchildren one day, at the moment I’m very content with my two lovely grand teenagers.
