piggy and babs 544 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 my great grand mother name was fanny. when my mum was in the old peoples home before she died one of the old ladies used to tell us stories about her and her friend fannyand fanny hated her name so much when they went out together they always called themselfs poppy and daisyalways said they smelt much better than a fanny she always had us in stiches with laughing at her storiesi wish i had taped those conversations with her. my mum had alzimers so her short term memory was not great but she came out with some stuff about her childhood. but pysically untill her later months . the other lady was not very good pysically but her mind was very sharp and she loved to tellyou her stories about her past.

jackson 301 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Pardon my ignorance Stu but what's a 'scunner'? PS: If it's not decent, don't tell me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's decent! To be 'scunnered' is to feel strong dislike, disgust or aversion to something, therefore a 'scunner' is someone who engenders those feelings in you!
