Hi everyone and welcome to my first ever guest post for the poorhouse. It wont take long and shouldn't hurt too much.
So topic of the week isn't the heist although pretty impressive. 40 million ey? Nopes, topic of the week from the grim north is the recent embarassment brought to Stockton Council. They put a nice new sign outside a junior school on Grammar School Lane in Yarm reading "Grammer School Lane". Perhaps the greatest part of this story is that it was brought to the attention of the council from the 4-11 year olds that attended the nearby school. It did however stay up a whole week :) Leave it there I say.

So from Grammar to Granmar a big question for the many many avid readers of the poorhouse. What was it your Gran always used to tell you when you were young in a misguided attempt to safeguard your help. Don't eat apple pips or a tree will grow out of your tummy were my Nana's eternal words of wisdom.
That's all for today.

A round of applause
Let's put our hands together and extend a warm welcome for the wonderful first post (including illustrations!) from our northern correspondent. For those that don't realise who she is, you may have seen her in her previous job, battling the MisFits - she is indeed "truly outrageous". Maybe if we are lucky one day she will tell us more about those giddy days of pop sensationalism.
Sadly I cannot personally remember any useless snippets of health advice I receieved from Grandma Grammer and her like; but I have been brought up one way or the other such that I heard that if you accidentally eat too many toothbrush bristles they can get stuck in your appendix. This was given as a good reason to not have a manky old toothbrush. Any basis in reality? Are you safe if you have your appendix removed?
I'm sure the googlebot will evenutally bring people with better memories.
The pip story was the same
The pip story was the same thing my grandma kept repeating and it applied to all the fruits which had seeds or pips. Another I remember was, when out shopping not to wonder away because some one may put us in a sack and take us to a far away land and these things were kind of scary. However, for me there was just too many"No's." Some of these advice still really helps and if I was to apply the same formula on my kids I'd think a lot so that I do not create a fear in them.
