bullet::::- mrs brady the old lady – an old woman who spends all her time exaggerating her age and complaining about young people of today and how things were different in her time. mrs brady constantly talks about her ailments; she is forgetful, unattentive, bigoted while always referring to her youth and how life was so much simpler and clear back then. she could also be seen as an object of pathos, she typically misunderstands what other people are telling her and so appears as rude, spiteful and self-absorbed - when a friend of hers is dying she seems unable to notice and only talk about her own ailments. in one episode she completely fails to realize that the friend she is talking to has been dead for over a year, and the corpse is decomposing horribly in front of the heater. mrs brady's full name is ada florence agnes pankhurst brady. she is widowed and often fondly refers to her late husband, sidney (however, according to a game on the "viz" website that featured mrs brady shoplifting (something she did very often in the early strips) sidney isn't dead - he just left her because he "couldn't stand the old cow" and moved to carlisle). she is often portrayed as being a hypocrite as in most episodes complains about how immoral the modern world is and how values have gone down, while also talking of happy memories of doing the same sort of things herself in her youth because "you had to in them days". she is a hypochondriac, and particularly obsessed with her bowel movements. during a "convention" strip where multiple characters met each other in an anniversary issue postman plod was surprised by mrs brady who revealed herself to be an intelligent and witty lady, who was "just playing a part".
