Bit of an odd question but what do you call your grandparents?
I've always known mine as Nan & Pops, i don't know anyone else that uses this?
Do people really call their Nans Memaw?!

Well, my grandfathers were both dead before I was born, so I don't really call them anything.
My Grandmothers were Grandma and Nana, but they've bought it too now.
