Nanny and Grandad were functionally illiterate.
Dads is dyslexic - he can read a book (slowly) but forms and paperwork baffle him. If Mum died I'd be his reading eyes.
He left school at 14 - legal then - but he missed quite a bit of school because he had to be put in quarantine; Uncle Charlie had TB. Didn't help him, he caught TB himself at 21. Still - he quit smoking and proposed to his nurse... No, not my Mum! Dad was engaged THREE times. Cheeky beggar, just wanted to get his end away.
