My very astute Gran is now 91 & lives with us I am happy to say. Doesn't
miss a beat and is only deaf when it suits.
She and my late Grandad had a grocer shop and both of them could add quicker
in their heads than on the cash register - BUT - just try telling her that
from February (her daughter's marriage) to September (my birth) there are
only 7 months!
