When Grandma and Grandad came back from a holiday in Eastbourne I was first to ask them how they enjoyed it.
"It was wonderful!" said Grandma, "Every day we walked to the end of the pier, to a little bench in a quiet shelter facing out to sea, and had a '69' ... it was lovely!"
"Grandma!" I was shocked, "You did that in public?"
Grandma said, "Well there were a few people about but they took no notice of us. We just went on licking away until we finished then we made our way back to the hotel. Your Grandad does get in a bit of a mess with it nowadays, but I've always got a tissue in my bag to clean him up afterwards."
I was gob-smacked! I said, "Grandma, you DO KNOW what a '69' is, don't you?"
She looked at me a little puzzled and said, "Of course! It's an icecream cone with a chocolate flake in the top!!"
