I'm starting to lose track now. So it was someone from eastenders, Paul Gascoigne, and her latest one is London mayor.

I think she feels vaguely affectionate towards Boris as well.

Shall I just give her more chocolate and say where the corner is...?

All her granddaughter's boyfriends. Any vaguely attractive young man under the age of about 25. She would FLIRT.

This is when she was in her 90s by the way. And had all her marbles.

My DM used to go a bit funny at the thought of Pat Cash's legs back in the 80s. She still watches a lot of tennis so there are probably newer legs for her to think about.

For MIL it is, and has always been, Elvis. Not weird but I don't see it myself...

Oh it was Sanjay from eastenders. And prior ex chancellor. This came up last night as I made a comment about dishy Rishi on the phone and she said "no no, I liked the one before".

She also has a partiality towards her electricity man, and my ex. When I left him she said in gushing tones oh but he's a genius. I think I swore.

My (long-gone) mum's crush was Tony Benn and James Stewart. And I think also George Alagiah.
