Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Had a girl (yes, girl not woman) from NPower at the door today. I can't remember what she was commenting on but she said "children" then a tiny pause and added "and grandchildren". Please tell me I don't look old enough to have grandchildren .

sadietoo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Actually I think you could be about 36 and have grandchildren...and so that's probably what the woman from Npower meant.....you look 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 actually I know of a girl who was 14 when she had her daughter but that means - technically she could be a granny at 28 so, the sales girl obviously thought you were 28 cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 But surely ANH is only 21? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 How rude no you don't look old enough How I miss the days when bar staff would ask for id to check you were 18........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Others have taken the words right out of my mouth I know someone who had a daughter at 16, who then had a son at 15, making her 31 and a grandmother I think its safe to say that you didn't switch gas and electricity suppliers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I think its safe to say that you didn't switch gas and electricity suppliers Yes, the sales training obviously needs an overhaul! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Darn it, you've blown my cover . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have actually switched to NPower . I've checked online since and we will save a few hundred a year and also get £100 one off discount and £100 direct debit discount pa. She looked about 12 so I'm sure I must have looked ancient to her . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Darn it, you've blown my cover . That was 11 years ago so you must be due to become a great-grandma soon then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Silly moo should've told her to stuff the clipboard where the sun dont shine - up her sleeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 how strange to see this thread.......on thursday last week I took my niece shopping and the girl in the shop suggested that my niece get her granny (me!!!!) to take her for a hot chocolate... I was horrified, my niece just smiled sweetly i am not a granny, nor ever likely to be it seems as none of my boy seem to want to settle down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 It was rude of her, but maybe she wasn't thinking it and just said it. When ever we take the neighbours kids out (5, 3 and 1), more so the little boy, people never know if I'm their brother or dad ... "neither" and it confuses them even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 That's awful....I had the same thing last year in Morrisons - the woman at the checkout asked me if I was collecting school vouchers for my children or grandchildren.....I wasn't a happy bunny!!

chelsea Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 She probably learnt all this in her "sales training" and it was rehe"Ooops, word censored!"d. I expect she says it to every single person she visits! I think I would have laughed out loud if she said it to me You definitely don't look old enough to be a Grandma!
