[English] Grandmothers

I'm always getting confused with "gran" and "nan". Are the two synonymous or is one the mother's and the other the father's mother?

What They Said.

Gran wanted to be called Gran when I was born, so she was. Likewise, Nanny & Pop chose those names for themselves (and they were thorough South Londoners).
