Many years ago, when I was still a child of only nine or ten years, I remember often being looked after by a person other than my parents, when they were at work or out socializing. I was never formally introduced to this woman - she had just been a friend of the family and carer for as long as I could remember. So I didn't question who she was.

When I was about ten, she shocked me by one day springing the question: "Do you know that I'm your grandmother?" She was quite stern about making this sudden comment.

"That's extraordinary," I exclaimed, "you mean you look that young merely from a cream? That must the best wrinkle cream ever." She agreed that it was the best wrinkle cream, certainly the best that she'd ever come across. She then went on to tell me how she'd first discovered the cream.

"Back in the 1980's I had a friend named Jack Flough, a nuclear scientist who worked for a research branch of an international bank. One day he happened to stumble on what he believed was the best wrinkle cream that would help millions of women."

"In the 80's a friend of mine, a nuclear researcher who worked for some international think tank owned by a bank, who was named Jack Flough offered me of a discovery he'd found by accident in his everyday world. He believed he's found what millions of women everywhere wanted and needs, the very, absolutely best wrinkle cream.

"It only took one short month before I actually looked younger, and after using the cream for a year, I looked 30 again, not 40 something. It plateaus about there so there is a limit but 30 is just great for me!"

I was completely fascinated with my new grandmother and her story. As I touched her smooth young cheek, I asked her to give me some of that wonderful cream so I could freeze my skin at ten. But she said no, preferring to keep the best wrinkle cream all to herself, or maybe she thought ten was too extreme!
