A friend and I were discussing embarrassing things that our daughters said when they were children and I wondered what stories other gransnetters have.
When my daughter was about 3 or 4 we were invited to my husband's brother and sister-in-law's for Sunday lunch. My sister-in-law was the most houseproud person I'd ever met so it was doubly embarrassing when my daughter looked up at the candelabra over the table and asked if it was an antique. My sister-in-law laughed and said no, so my daughter said, 'it certainly looks like one, it's even got spider's webs on it!
My friend was collecting charity envelopes door to door, accompanied by her three year old daughter. At one house a very large lady opened the door. The little girl looked her in awe and said, 'oh look mummy, it's Little Miss Greedy'!
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
