There is a statue of the Giles family in Queen Street in Ipswich, England. Grandma made a cameo appearance in DC Comics' Superman: True Brit. The appearance of Mrs. Henriot-Gulch in the comic Cerebus is closely based on Grandma. The family appeared in TV cartoon ads for tea, one of which included Grandma racing around on her motorbike.

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or legacy:

    To begin to use cultural forces for the good of our daughters we must first shake ourselves awake from the cultural trance we all live in. This is no small matter, to untangle our true beliefs from what we have been taught to believe about who and what girls and women are.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)

    What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
    Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
