HOW TO COPE WITH GROWN UPS: GRANDMOTHERS
Aktually grans are not bad. Gran you know our gran is a wonderful old lade hem-hem she made munitions during the war and was also a **lade porter**. Now she fly round the world in comets stiring up trouble, so pop says, and beating black men on the head. Pop says why bother about an atomic bomb if you can drop gran over rusia. She would soon tell them how to manage their affairs e.g. you simply can’tbe a communist mr malenkov. That’s quite beyond the pale.
What does this "lade porter" mean?
Thanks in advance!

a porter
Lade meas to put cargo on board (a ship). So, lade porter is a porter who works on/for a ship. Eg, loading and unloading when the ship is on harbour.

Yvonne Gallagher
: "lade" is a misspelling of "Lady" here as has been pointed out already, and "porter" has already been given (and well illustrated) by Helena
