When i was a child, my mother asked my younger sister and myself to go down and sit with our dying gran, until our aunt could take over. We arrived at gran's, she was asleep in a very dark bedroom with some awful radio station playing in the back ground. After a while my younger sister who was by now terribly bored, leaned over to me and said in a loud whisper "is she dead yet, cos Blue Peter starts in five minutes and we will miss it" As a matter of fact, gran managed to struggle on for another three years or so.
