- Dear Granny Murphy
- http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~byrne/feedback_post.html
-
- Granny Murphy's sage advice is for all those who have questions about
- relationships that they may be in or are thinking of getting into. Type
- in your story (or question) on the WWW form and every few days Granny will
- mail you back sagent advice on how best to handle the situation. This is
- "not for women only" as many men and teenagers ask Granny for her advice
- on subjects ranging from boyfriends to what best to serve at dinner. If
- I had a granny like this - I'd probably never do the wrong thing <g>.
