I grew up knowing my grandfather won a gold medal shooting at the Olympics. My whole life I’ve used this as a conversation starter, as a cool fact about me, to impress people.
Four years ago I decided to find out more information about him.
Lads, he didn’t even compete.

I went to a baby group yesterday where the babies had to ‘pick’ toy vegetables and the v enthusiastic group leader said ‘everyone grab an aubergine’ and I said ‘that’s how we got into this mess in the first place, amiright?’ and literally nobody laughed

To clear up a couple of things:
1) he did go to the Olympics and maybe was part of the wider team, but he didn’t compete and certainly didn’t win gold
2) no I clearly never saw the medal, I heard it went to my uncle who was estranged from my dad

I don’t really use this app much anymore but a small update for anyone who cares that I had another baby. She’s called Cleo and she’s an angel. She arrived six weeks early in pretty scary circumstances, but we are both doing well now. We can never thank the NHS enough.

He died before I was born and my father and his brother were estranged, so I heard the medal was on that side of the family

A talent like no other. It’s been the honour of my career to sell her books.
We are heartbroken at the death of our beloved author, Dame Hilary Mantel, and our thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her husband, Gerald. This is a devastating loss and we can only be grateful she left us with such a magnificent body of work.
