00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: should she be on the wall of the wall of NaNs.

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,000

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: Hi, Christian, I would really love my Nan. Seems tous

7
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 3: Molly to be on the wall of NaN's because during

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 3: World War Two she was a seamstress and she made

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: the uniforms for all the soldiers that were fighting in

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: World War Two, And even though she wasn't supposed to,

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: she would write and put into the pocket of the

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: uniform cheery notes for whoever got the uniform to keep

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 3: them morale high.

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: What a lovely moving thing to do.

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: Imagine the impact of a soldier, probably a young lad

16
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: somewhere very scary and then getting a little note like

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: that that someone somewhere is caring about them. That's a

18
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: beautiful love to hear about Molly.

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Christian.

20
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: My wife, Sir Nana, was quite well known around the

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Collingwood area in the seventies. She ran the local milk

22
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: barn back in the room. In the back rooms in

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: the back room she ran. There are very dodgy bookies

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: where you could go and.

25
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 4: Buy the milk and bread, bread and better legally on

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 4: the horses. A very large amount of ggs and money

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 4: went through that room. Christian, I bet and more than

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: paid for groceries and clothes for all our family. She's

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 4: not with us anymore but a gangster granny. There's always

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 4: run by there. Oh booking non, that is fantastic. This

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: goes the linee here a winner.

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 5: Good morning, good morning, Christian.

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: All right, tell us about Uno Dan.

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 5: Well, this is my husband's mum and my son Jake's name,

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 5: so Bertie, the naughty name cleman, that's what we would

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: like to call her. So what she would do, she

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 5: had just a ruthless and an apologetic chap to be honest,

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: me too. Basically she just showed no mercy when she

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 5: was bombarding her grand child with super reverse and draw

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: four cards, which most of these that they done being

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: retrieved from a secret stash under.

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: Her Wow wait cards. No fears about just crushing you

43
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: know young grandchildren.

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 5: No, no, there was there was no mercy.

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: It was white line fever.

46
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: Yes correct. And then the other thing she might do

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: would be, you know, at the end when you had

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: to count up the cards. Do you score? She would

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 5: try and bluff us, and she would give a half score.

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: And when we, you know, we were like challenge to.

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: Come on, then bluff stuble bluffs triple blinds.

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

53
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, she'd be mortally wounded to think that we would

54
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 5: think she was cheating.

55
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, but you don't mind putting up on a

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: wall and laborers, you.

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 5: Know, she would absolutely love us.

58
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: I think we have to find room on the wall.

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: Four know, yay, okay.

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,040

00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: get up one of those Japanese wells. Haven't managed to

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: get scum off up a little lad under there all right.

65
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: Then Georgia's on the line. She wants to tell us

Speaker 1: Oh good Georgia, And I hope you having a good week.

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Tell me about Nan I had.

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 7: I think the world's most frugal nn. She was a

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 7: very frugal Nan. Her name was Caroline. She worked for

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 7: the railways for about fifty years, and while she was

73
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 7: at the railway she helped herself to toilet paper. She

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 7: had a lifetime supply of toilet paper in her Linen press.

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 7: When you opened up the door of him in the press,

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 7: there wasn't tows and things like most men. There was

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 7: toilet paper, but it was those cardboard It was that

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 7: waxy paper.

79
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: That cheap stuff you get on trains. And also in

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: school she rember that tracing paper.

81
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 7: That's right. So we never liked to go into the toilet.

82
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 7: And then anyway you.

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 2: Have to put a glove about eight sheets just to

84
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: make it up to half a gram or sometimes you

85
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: get there.

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, she never even left the whole box next to

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 7: the toilet. She actually took the sheets out and put

88
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 7: them next to the toilet. They did only knew the couple.

89
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 7: There was never enough next to the toilet anyway. She

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 7: lied about her age, and she retired about fifteen years

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 7: after she was supposed to retire. They eventually found out

92
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 7: she was well into her seventies and they made her retire,

93
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 7: and she was determined that she was never going to

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 7: buy a roll of toilet paper.

95
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: Was a constant in her life.

96
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: She's out there now in heaven, isn't she after.

97
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: These stock supplyes the toilet roll you roll up there.

98
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 7: Well, when she was getting close to ninety, the supply

99
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 7: was coming down and my brother said to her and

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 7: then I think you're going to have to buy some

101
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 7: toilet paper before you die. And she she was curious.

102
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 7: She said, no, no, I'd rather die. So what happened

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 7: was one day my friend rang me and said, I

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 7: have just seen your nana riding because she rode a bike.

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 7: She never drove, riding her bike down a cool field

106
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 7: road and there was toilet paper streaming behind her.

107
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: She's a plane.

108
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: She'd been to my house and helped her south to

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 7: some toilet paper.

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Can she never pay for any in her life?

111
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 7: That's that. Well, she came out here, you know, during

112
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 7: the wartime, after the war, so she was very frugal.

113
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 7: But there were other there were other instances of extreme frugality,

114
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 7: which probably.

115
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: What a great phrase, extreme frugality.

116
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 7: So yes, So alongside the toilet paper, there was also

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 7: the issue of not flashing the toilet.

118
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: We get streaming.

119
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 7: Flashed once today.

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: Please around the central point of your family isn't a TV,

Speaker 2: it's a toilet.
