A couple of days ago, when I was having my hair cut, a lady walked in. She was almost hysterical. She had been on holiday and had had her hair done while abroad. She whipped her bandana off and they had turned it green!
"How did the holiday go?" asked our host, David.
"Jayzus, don’t talk to me" says yer wan, "I spent ten days in a hotel in Portugal drinking Gaviscon."
You young things will not know this but Gaviscon is the essential accessory for auld wans going abroad. It works wonders on the acid reflux. Acid reflux is terrible for surprising you at night. In fact, it is the only thing that does.
Gaviscon comes in two flavours… mint and aniseed. In fact it tastes a lot like Pernod, a drink I was very fond of in my heyday when abroad with the girls.
I believe in some less salubrious places it is called a Leg Opener, but I don’t know what that means.
Try it. Go to the pub tonight and order a Gaviscon and tonic! On me!
Happy Valentines Day.
And congratulations to all you Yang Wans that got a call to the awards.
God Bless,
Granny

where’d you get my picture?i swear by the ole gaviscon and i tell you if my hair went green looking like i do i’d add a wee [well not so wee]gin
No, Cooper. Don’t worry. You won’t ever go green unless you have have a peroxide blond rinse in your hair before you sit in the sun. Princess Michael of Kent is the only one who can take blond after sixty. It’s too like Catherine Nevin!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too, Granny.
Gee! Thanks Jefferson.
You’re lookin’ well, ma! I told you that manicure would pay off.
Tanks for the eyebrow pluck, and I’m after having had a bikini wax.
Ouch! Have you got any Solpadeine?
Hmmmm, I don’t know about this Gaviscon and Tonic. I prefer muscle relaxers and Vodka.
Thank you Brian. I will try that after I run out of Gaviscon.
Are we going to have to wait until July for your next post?
Happy Mothers Day!
