Of course Granny Smith’s real name wasn’t Granny but everyone called her Granny. It wasn’t because she was a grandmother, though she was three times over, but rather because as a child she had loved apples, would take one to school for her lunch each and every day. It seemed that wherever she went an apple went with her and so associated with the fruit had she become that eventually some bright spark had nicknamed her Granny Smith after that popular Australian variety of apple. 

 

Granny may have reached the age where her Wild Oats have turned into All-Bran, but there are plenty of tunes that can be played on an old fiddle.

Granny sighed.

This wasn’t getting them anywhere and they had skirted so far away from the central issue that they were in danger of losing sight of it all together.

‘Capitalism by its very nature exploits the working man,’ Mark brought a fist down on the table to illustrate his point.

‘And the working woman,’ Sue chimed in. ‘It’s not all about men you know.’

‘Right on, sister,’ Mansall punched the air and had to adjust his headband which fell forward over his eyes.

‘I think we should get back to the frogs,’ Granny said and then used the pun she had been itching to use for the last ten minutes: ‘We seem to have hopped away from the point of this meeting.’

Maud liked that and nudged Granny gently in the side as a token of her appreciation.

‘Yes,’ Mark stood and leaned forward, his knuckles on the edge of the table. ‘I used the word man as in mankind. And that includes women too.’
