A group of OAP’s with an average age of 85 shocked the normally quaint Ashington Festival in Horsham, West Sussex, by decking their minibus in a ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ style.<\/p>\n
The saucy grannies, including one 90 year old, decided to model their float in the manner of the classic E.L James erotic novel.<\/p>\n
They used handcuffs, whips, ropes, and even took down the shelves on the bus to make a pretend sex dungeon.<\/p>\n
Well, it seems that the float went down rather well, with the naughty bunch getting first place, and the associated \u00a3100 cash prize.<\/p>\n
The rather ingenious float was organised by a group of volunteers who take the old people shopping in the local village for groceries.<\/p>\n
This was all the brainchild of Judith Stilwell, 81, who was in charge of decorating the float, and is also a volunteer helping the elderly group.<\/p>\n
She said: “I suggested that they all wear grey and something a little bit outlandish like red lipstick.<\/p>\n
“When they won, the ladies literally leapt three foot into the air they were so excited.<\/p>\n
“None of us have ever read the book but I thought it would be a bit of fun, and when we were driving around one of the ladies said ‘I’m having the time of my life.'”<\/p>\n
It seems that Judith researched the book online to find out how to decorate the minibus. Oh right, ‘research’. I’m sure that is the only reason!<\/p>\n
Well it seems the kinky grannies won’t be spending their money on more naughty gear, and are instead taking their friends for tea.<\/p>\n
Judith added: “We are going to use a little bit of the money to cover the costs of decorations but the rest we will use to treat the old ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n
“We are thinking of having a\u00a0fish and chip dinner\u00a0or a cream tea with everyone together.”<\/p>\n
Festival organiser Margaret Alford was very impressed with the raunchy float.<\/p>\n
“The Fifty Shades Of Grey float was excellent.<\/p>\n
“It really made the elderly people’s day – they’ll be talking about it all year.<\/p>\n
“The festival was a huge success, it had a fantastic atmosphere and we were so lucky with the weather.”<\/p>\n
I have to say, I think this is absolutely brilliant. At that age, if you stop being able to have a laugh, then the end will be coming a lot quicker than you would like. These volunteers and kinky OAP’s are really doing something positive, it has to be said. For that they should be applauded.<\/p>\n
Then again, I’m not sure I would be laughing so much if they all started wearing ‘sexy gear’. That would be a sight I wouldn’t be able to get out of my brain for a while!<\/p>\n
It does go to show you are only as old as you feel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
