    Could it be that this gardener isa bit jealous of the old ladies wealth?. Therefore he sees anyone being helpful to her as gold diggers rather than assisting her for altruistic reasons.

    Has anybody seen Bluelass lately? Just wondering.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Either the OP IS the 50 something woman and she is testing the water to see what people think of her, (I mean she does know an AWFUL lot of info!) Or she is bitter and jealous of the actual woman, because she got in there first. :cool:

    I'm trying to do the maths. Hitler shot himself 72 years ago. If the lady's in her 90s she could have met him.

    OP I think you might be better off keeping out of this one, unless you have reason to suspect elder abuse.

    The query about the age of the old lady wasn't about whether she could have met him, which of course she could, but whether she would have been in school/education at the time of his death.

    The OP says the lady is 90. So born in 1926 or 1927. So 18 in May 1945. And presumably still in school

    Whether or not she saw/knew Hitler means nothing. What matters is that she is HAPPY with the situation as it is. The old lady may well have appointed the 50 year old as next of kin - if she has no-one else, why does it matter?

    It matters not whether or not the old lady met/knew Hitler - she has been in the UK for over 50 years - and is happy to call the 50-year old lady her next of kin - if she has no-one else, why not? Or does the gardener want the old lady to adopt him?

    After 5 years of regular visits to an unrelated old dear, I think she'd have earned the inheritance even at minimum wage rates. It's the longest and worst scam I have ever seen!

    Butt out. Nunnaya.

    Also, a woman who is now in her 90s would have left school well before Hitler died.

    No, she would have been about 18 then. (90 years ago was 1927, and Hitler died 18 years later, in 1945.)
