How many Grandads do we have and are they happy to be asked things? Step forward lads!

What time are Matrons opening hours?

It depends on how many senna pods she prescribes for you! wink

Lil has plenty of cock-tales to tempt you....her favourite is 'bend me over the bar'
It has a base of crime de menth,crushed ice,vodka and le galeano.a smattering of fag ash and a touch of Benylin Expectorant,shaken vigorously which the locals all love to see as our Lil has always been a mover and shaker,her wrist action is second to none,I believe she has her name on many a subway wall and toilet door as her testimonial.
I believe she will be serving pickled onions and gherkins on the bar for those of you who get nuts stuck under your dentures........

Naughty nellie...your wit is priceless Keep it up! grin

jeni Mon 09-Jul-12 13:03:04

I thought it was more a question of the grandads keeping it up?

Jeni! shockgrin

soop Mon 09-Jul-12 13:22:16

jeni grin

It's never a problem..... well not with Lil's pickled gherkin and wrist action available...... grin

If it's not a silly question, how many Grandads do you have?

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 14:22:44

Hi Frankel a few who drop in and out think * pete n gramps* have assumed squatters rights in the shed now ..possession being 9/10 of the law. ..grin

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 14:36:12

Sitting next to legal eagle at the moment. To get squatters rights G and P wold have to apply do the land registry for title! The legal owner then has some time to appeal!
Who is the legal owner of the virtual shed?

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 15:12:27

hmm Will have to look at the Shed thread....

Pete Tue 10-Jul-12 16:46:27

Draw-bridge going up..... we could be here for ages !! And Lils promised a 'Shed Delivery' service.. grin

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 16:50:22

Watch out for bailiffs!

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 16:57:21

I think GNHQ is the virtual owner of the virtual Shed - but I don't think they'd be too bothered if a couple of couple of elderly miscreants staged a sit-in...

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 16:58:01

Oops! A couple too many there! blush

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:01:43

Do bailiffs wear uniforms [hmmm]

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:03:08

Actually pete shed delivery service translates as meals on wheels grin

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 17:04:55

Ah! But to claim 'squatters rights'( which I don't think exist anymore) they have to claim title to the land with land registry.
I do wonder how the civil servants at the land registry would feel about granting title to virtual land?

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 17:08:06

I think 'squatters' rights' must still exist, jeni - you still can't get them out of your home if they move in!

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 17:13:37

Not after 1 sept this year they don't. And anyway you can evict them with a court order. I think the bill was passed in may this year.

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 17:22:19

Lils pub * mooning on the square*I believe is affiliated to the shed and as you quite rightly say the licencees are GNHQ but they they leave the hiring and firing to Lil and her choice of brewery hence the real ales that she sells.
members of the clergy frequent her establishment which is honoured in her choice of ale as she is closely intimate with a lot of their members...
She makes their stipends stretch a lot more..as a result the clergy are able to spread themselves a lot more freely around the parish and give of themselves wholeheartedly and without prejudice or discrimination..although uptake at the special clinic has increased significantly.......

Anagram Tue 10-Jul-12 17:32:11

Oh, good - I was a bit concerned about their tiny stipends!

Pete Tue 10-Jul-12 17:41:37

nellie your always welcome to visit...in fact Lils on her way, with a few roast dinners (with afters), as we speak. anagram miscreants maybe...but not elderly !! gramps is 'mature and I'm still a young buck grin grin

nelliedeane Tue 10-Jul-12 18:32:00

Spotted Dick with custard is my favourite.....I am afraid I don't know Lils choice of desert but would think it would be something along those lines.....grin

jeni Tue 10-Jul-12 18:38:53

Not roly poly?
