Re: Head and Shoulders
I think if you are brought up with elderly relatives very much in evidence it has the effect of making you older than your years an 'old head on young shoulders' .Similarly my youngest granddaughter now aged 3 has spent a lot of time with me from being a tiny baby, she definitely has has an old head and is both bossy and wise

I said to him the other day to walk like his nanny and up he stands, hunches his little back, smiles and off he walks with a stoop, Phyllis hasn't got a stoop but I think his little mind links it to anyone old, she and me were in fits of laughing.
your GS sounds quite a character Jem...

No, but I've seen plenty of blokes who act like they've got a young head on old shoulders.
