Reminds me of when teaching my next-door neighbour's 10 yr. old to ride her bike, but she had trouble steering it. I ended up pushing the bike when she got fed up & I had trouble with steering it. We stopped at some swings & a fellow looked at the biike & said that the forks where 180* out! I hadn't really looked that hard at the bike until then - her dad had assembled it!!

Just because grannies are female and old (usually) doesn’t mean they don’t have a sense of humour. I suspect it’s more a variation between Britain and the good ol USA thing. Firsthand experience here – my Pam is American and care has to be used on the comedy front.
I remember in the 70s, American tourists being shocked at adverts showing women in underwear on the subway walls in London.
Your starter for 10 where is this from, " don’t look Ethel , but it was too late she's already been incensed."
Edit, sorry I should’ve said, not everybody knows that Noel the site owner is American – that’s right isn’t it Noel?
Double edit, sorry I got it wrong Noel isn’t the owner but the owner is American.
'The Streak'
 
I've been watching 'Arctic Ice Railroad' (Ontario North) on D-Max ch., very weird when narrator says :- "it goes as far south as North Bay"!
 
Todays news paper contains an item "Judges in the UK are being urged to drop the term 'postman' in favour of 'postal operative'...." This is going to play havoc with a poem I learnt about 50 years ago, which will now go like this:
Postal operative out on daily run,
thinks he'll stop and give maid one,
up comes postal operative master sudden like,
"stop pushing pud, push effing bike!"
