WHILE enjoying my writing colleague Albert Morris's grandchildren's sayings, I thought I would relate something my own grandson, Ian, aged four, said to me. "Nanna have you got tights on?" he asked.

I replied yes and he said: "Well they have got lumps in."

The lumps were my varicose veins and I did not know whether to laugh or cry.
