When Granny stayed for Christmas - Pure Devonian Gold

A final Funny story from April and June - our favourite!!

[@A.W.D.]

This is great. I'm from Arkansas and understand them,no problem we even say some things very similarly. My Granny and Nanny are alot like them. Especially my Gran she has alot of jokes like that. She just had her 98th birthday and my Nan is 87. Reminds me of them alot. We are of primarily English with some Irish descent and my last name comes from Devon. Grandparents are a gift,these ladies are a treasure,very cool video.

What's your last name out of interest? We don't seem to have as many records of names specific to our county as other parts

[@A.W.D.]

My last name is Doddridge. I remember researching years ago that it comes from that area. It's quite a uncommon name. It also has other ways of spelling some like with one D or like mine with two. Hope that helps! Have a good one.

@@A.W.D. Ah was just intrested cause I have a lot of old Devon surnames in my family with some Irish decent also. I think I've seen a variation of that one but only once or twice

[@A.W.D.]

@@bethanyfowler8573Cool! No problem 👍 I love family history and stuff like that. And if I'm not mistaken my Granny said her granddads family came to the US in the 1850s from Ireland he was just a little boy. Most of my other family have been here since the 1700s and moving from the east coast to settling here from what I gathered. Anyway, very interesting stuff!

I’m from Devon and decided to show this to my friends who are from up north (Birmingham) and they thought it was a different language. I had to remind them this is how I feel when listening to someone from Liverpool or Newcastle... or even Birmingham!

[@alexdoran2385]

Reminds me of my some lovely relatives, most are no longer with us ❤

[@seorasog]

Very easy to understand every word that lady said. Can't say that about other parts of England. Maybe the Devonian accent influenced New England, where I come from, making it easier for me to understand. I guess the Granny in her story wasn't wearing any drawers if she managed to shoot the cat when she bent over.

At first I thought it was a lemon meringue pie but then I noticed the sheen on the left side and now I'm thinking it's yellow gift ribbon. I love how crafty they are with their cake décor LOL These ladies are pure gifts for sure!

[@janetgoodrick3855]

Lol..it looks like a Simnel cake which is for Easter.

[@TearsOfHistory]

2:24 Can anyone let me know what is being said here? All I hear is "Granny when to poke the buyer and passed wind". So they made a cake with ball bearings and some wood to make it look nice, but I don't get how the cat died lol

[@varminteruk]

haha, Granny got up to poke the fire, passed wind and shot the cat

[@TearsOfHistory]

@@varminteruk ahh thank you. I guess that makes sense haha. I didn't know you could kill a cat with a fart : ) poor kitty

[@Jalkoth]

@@TearsOfHistory she ate the ball bearings on the cake and when she passed gas they fired out like rifle

[@MariaVazquez-du3st]

😄

[@aceprecision1681]

I have to ask ...... What caliber were the ball bearings, and were you able to put granny's arse over the chronograph !?! LOL

[@varminteruk]

Ace Precision haha, Buckshot I'd say!
