John Crane Ltd are sending out a whole host of grand parents (from their Tidlo Collection) and are looking for weird, wonderful and far-flung photos of them…
If you’ve received your perky pensioner then add your photo URL to a comment below – let’s see who can take granny the furthest….
John Crane Ltd will award a few spot prizes for anyone who makes them laugh out loud!
