Small Talk.

[Plantaholic]

I sometimes pretend there is someone at the door and ask them to hold on and on and on.

I have been known to wind people up, Grauntie. I remember once someone grumbling about their electricity bill. I said it was because her tv used so much and she should get it converted to gas. She believed me!!! Another time, a friend had a new dress with a cream top and a dark, patterned skirt, so it looked more like a skirt and blouse than a dress. The washing instructions said to wash dark colours separately and I said what a nuisance, because it meant unpicking the two parts every time she washed it! She believed me, too!

Daisy that is priceless! 😂🤣😆

Gem, I’m going to try that one too.....🤣😂😆

Oh I can chat to everyone but get stuck on small talk its so predictable isn't it,"where are you off on holidays" at the hairdressers etc.I chat in bus queues/bus stops/supermarkets etc am always careful never to hold up the queues though.

I talk with anyone really. I've asked hairdresser where/when she's going on holiday?...what's she up to at the weekend? It's the fourth new hairdresser so I've run out of steam🤣 I'm trying another this wk too!

At a family funeral last wk we sat next to strangers. I try to turn the conversation round to what they do etc. Seems to work. I don't feel comfortable tho' making small talk. Maybe I'll try the prison line🤣

Haha, Nana - what would you do if they said "Oh, so have I, where were you banged up?"

[Nana]

There's a couple of prisons close by Daisy, so I'm covered. I didn't see the rest of the prison because I was in isolation.... for the other prisoners safety of course.😉😂😂😂

[Daisy]

Nana - you're a natural! An accomplished winder-upp-er!!!!

[Nana]
