EXHAUSTED Hans and Josie Schaffer are Britain’s busiest pensioners – with a record 99 grandchildren to spoil.
The happy couple have to spend most of the year saving for their family’s Christmas gifts.
The colossal brood is made up of 56 grandchildren by their 11 kids – and 43 great-grandchildren.
Granny Josie, 77, said: “The kids just kept coming – and then their kids just kept coming.”
She married German-born Hans, now 85, in 1948 and they celebrate their Diamond Wedding anniversary this month. The pair met after former PoW Hans stayed in the UK to work as a farmer following World War II.
Josie, of Bedford, said: “We worked hard at our family. We were told, in the days of feather mattresses, when you have a row with your spouse you shake the bed and get back in it.”
Guinness World Records said: “There is no existing record for the living couple with the most grandchildren. But this pair may clinch it.”
Margaret McMillan, of Pollok, Glasgow, died last year at 98 blessed with 123 grandchildren.
