I was at Metrocentre with my nan and granddad in 98 or 99, my nan said to my granddad 'do you want to goto the pictures to see Titanic' in his best moany voice he replied 'Why would I want to see that, I know what happens, the ship sinks'
I miss his moaning lol
I miss my grandad's wittiness.
He had a great sense of humour. My mam stayed with him till the very end, and she told me on the morning he died he was pretty much himself, and the moment he shut down was totally unexpected.
From what I gather, she's never told me what actually happened, the cleaners came to see if he wanted a wash, and he just died when they tried to help with out of his chair.
They were pulling onto his drive when he said 'or nor, 'ere come win it n' can it'. To think he died shortly after cracking such a joke is weird.
