BRITONS are rather fond of nostalgia, according to a new study by Gala Bingo.
It has revealed the country’s favourite ways to spend time with their grandparents — and reminiscing on the past is at the top of the list.
Gala Bingo found nearly two thirds (32%) of the country enjoy nostalgic conversations the most, followed by baking, gardening and playing board games.
Dog walking and trips to the beach were also some firm favourites.
Andre Radmall, author of the study and psychotherapist, said the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is “immensely important”.
“Spending time with each other provides innumerable benefits for both,” he says. “Grandchildren can learn from the experience of grandparents, passing on their wisdom through to adulthood which can be a rewarding and meaningful experience for grandchildren.”
Karina Adrian, from Gala Bingo, adds: “It’s really great to see the nation’s appreciation and love we share for our grandparents.
“There are so many shared experiences between a grandparent and their grandchild, with this research reflecting just how much of a positive impact the bonds with our grandparents can have on us as adults.
“We hope this research has inspired people to spend some quality time with their grandparents this week and reminisce on good times spent with them.”
