Some things certainly are hereditary, if you have had children, chances are so did your parents! :-)

Oh I can just hear the groans, but it's worth giving the old jokes an outing now and then, snow fun otherwise!!

Best wishes,
Mayfield.

I sometimes think that you are more like your grandparents than your parents.

My wife always thought she took after her mum and her brother after her dad.

It was only after her grandmothers death when we found a photo which nana had kept hidden when we realized she was the spit image of her grandmother in her early twenties.

We also have large sticky our ears in our family. Again they tend to re-appear every other generation or so, missing one or two in between.
