to think it very weird that elderly parents

[IrishGal21]

still refer to adult child's room by name of child when referring to that room even after they have left 20 or more years earlier???

Ie. Bob's bedroom

As someone whose kids have moved out, I don't think the 'shrine' scenario is less to do with laziness or inertia as wanting the space (if you have more than enough anyway) to still be available to your kids if they need it again and not wanting to throw out their personal possessions. To be honest, if you're sure you're not coming back, it's really up to you as owner of all the random crap to come and take it away!

think..not don't think!

Farmers have names for fields that can refer to long dead people! It's a way of naming things.

St Alban’s been dead for quite a while.......

Some people on here invest so much time on the most trivial things, does it really matter what people call rooms???

So has Peter, no idea why he still wants his field.

“So has Peter, no idea why he still wants his field.”

And as for Maccle........

He's got a strange name, you can have his field.
King's Lynn is well overdue for a rename.
