I'm not saying my family is eccentric but......

That is so sensible of him! #respectoldfeller

I am speechless
Where did you take him for this lunch?
We're there men in white coats waiting for you outside, or in true British fashion, did nobody bat an eyelid?

Katek I found that hilarious. What on earth did you do, have tea and toast at his house? There are tears of laughter rolling down my face.

Now that really did make me laugh out loud. My DD's ( soon to be ex) FiL is also 88 and in the 25 years I have known him I have never seen him without collar, tie and highly polished brown shoes, I think he goes to bed in them. I can just picture him and his very proper second wife in those onesies.

Good on him!

As long as he doesn't believe that he really is a reindeer or pink rabbit

KateK did say they were early picking him up. I'm sure he would have got addressed before they left out.

A onesie will stop any draughts getting into gaps! Very sensible, better than an old dressing gown!
Where did you go for lunch? Lapland to meet up with the other reindeers?
Hilarious

Dressed

I love that!

We're looking for seasonal work for him at a grotto somewhere.,,..,,,

I love him Katek! (smile)

Don't know what's happened to my emoticons. This new laptop has the brackets in a different place and the square brackets where they used to be so trying again please excuse any errors.

That's better have to use the square brackets on this one - can we have the holly yet Gransnet?

Not long before my 92 year old father died, I was at his house when he decided he would 'make a cup of tea'. He disappeared into the kitchen and emerged a few minutes later stark naked, carrying his catheter, plus urine bag and stand! I just looked at him and said 'oh! I thought you were making tea!'

When I was younger, I informed my sister that I intended to be eccentric when I grew old. She said, 'But you're eccentric already'. I can't think what she meant. I am now inspired to go shopping for a suitable (unsuitable?) onesie.

Dear best friend lives with his cousin, he is more than a little eccentric, on Sunday he phoned my friend to say he had bought 125 kilos of used stamps,,, silence from friend, cousin, " we can sort through them and fine the ones which have not been franked and re-use them for Christmas cards".
Ummmm even stranger DD seems to think there is nothing even slightly wierd about this¨

Wonderful stories you fair cheered me up. My dad was eccentric his grand children thought he was great. He picked them up from school one day in a shell suit, trainers and a base ball cap. They called him groovy Gramps
I think just being British is eccentric the rest of the world doesn't quite get us

That's wonderful, made me smile. We need more like him!!!

I also love my onesi, (tiger design). It is so much warmer than a dressing gown. It takes a bit more getting into and visits to the loo are slower but I wear it most days and hope to do so for many years to come.

Not time for holly yet Teetime. You just calm down and don't get excited, or you'll be awake from now until Xmas morning.

They haven't even scrubbed out the halloween ones yet!

We all wore onesie's for a Christmas day evening family get together OH bought himself an elf onesie complete with jingly bells on, we also had a batman, rabbit, zebra, and Kermit we had a fab evening.

I've been laughing out loud at your stories ..
