Granny Murray - is "Granny" a Scottish term of endearment, or did she have kids when she was 9?

Just idly wondering why...

LOL. Maybe either maybe neither.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 14/05/2008 20:48

She's only about 37

MUCH younger than me

saltire · 14/05/2008 20:49

If they had wanted to give her a Scottish term of endearment they would have called her Hen!
As it is she gives childminders and grannys a bad name

bohemianbint · 14/05/2008 20:51

She is quite bonkers, that grin when she opens the door scares the crap out of me. I suspect she takes drugs.

Apparently she was a last minute substitute for a much older actress.

Have exhausted myself talking about Aunty Mabel so will stand well back from Granny Murray musings

bohemianbint · 14/05/2008 20:55

Who's Aunty Mabel? Am still quite clueless re kids tv, it was only the other day I found out Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies wasn't the dodgy porn show it sounds like it ought to be.

Should they not have changed Granny Murray's name too then? Bloomin' confusing...

God what would a programme with the 2 of them on be like "Me too comes outside"

BoysAreLikeDogs · 14/05/2008 20:56

lol Saltire

Granny Murray is the Devils spawn.

DD1 hates her because she sometimes wears the same colours as Daphne from Scooby Doo .

Purple and lime green by the way.

frasersmummy · 14/05/2008 20:59

she looks that manic cos she doesnt know what town she is gonna see when she open the dooor landmarks near her house appear to be the tyne bridge, the london eye, edinburgh buses, the glasgow science centre

saltire · 14/05/2008 20:59

I keep expecting Jack and Victor or Navid to appear

PixelHerder · 14/05/2008 21:01

Tamazopan and vodka with her Weetabix that one, you mark my words.

VoodooCoconut · 14/05/2008 21:04

och come in, me dears!!

who's at home with Granny Murray today?

she seems a harmless enthusiastic eccentric..
not as odd as the doc who takes the dog to the childminder....

It's Mabel I loathe...

littleducks · 14/05/2008 21:08

I'm sure Aitch knows the answer to this, something about being a last minute substitute

oh, yes the doc taking the dog to the childminder had me a bit

saltire · 14/05/2008 21:14

Could you imagine aunty mable and granny murray, with all the children in aunty mabel's areoplane! Flying low over Edinburgh, then moving onto the next landmark and wondering why they run out of fuel

LynetteScavo · 14/05/2008 21:19

I'm a bit about the mum who washes buses at night. Who looks after her DC when she's asleep, and does bus washing really pay well enough to justify paying a childmminders over night fees.

And how much does Granny Murray charge to mind a dog do you think?

I can;t wait till they do the story of a child going to see Dr Juno because sampson has bitten them at Granny Murrays house.

bohemianbint · 14/05/2008 21:26

LMAO Lynette...

This has all been done before no doubt but the thing that bothers me about Granny Murray (apart from her age, which has crossed my mind once or twice too) are:

  1. how can the woman who cleans buses at night afford to pay GM whatever it costs to childmind a child overnight out of her presumably minimum wage?
  1. how does the mum get any sleep?
  1. and therefore, how does the mum who cleans buses at night stay so fricking chirpy?
bohemianbint · 14/05/2008 21:39

more drugs, I reckon, eekamouse. Must be a rife market in Riverseafingal. Reckon they get em from that shifty fella down the market?

the teacher guy is the funniest..the market trader is un peu creepy

nappyaddict · 15/05/2008 20:38

god you lot its obvious

the one who washes buses is on WTC so she only has to pay 20% of GM's fees.

Tina taxi is the spit of my Aunt Mary...

And her relationship with the train guy is surely "lavender"?
