Now we feel all warm and fuzzy.

This gran's polite Google search is the sweetest thing you'll see today

Grans are the best. They slip you tenners, always remember your birthday and would rather die than see you go hungry (or anything short of stuffed).

And most have unfailing standards when it comes to manners - just look at May Ashworth's request to Google to translate some Roman numerals.

Her grandson posted a screengrab of the search to Twitter and it's quickly gone viral, leaving a trail of melted hearts everywhere.

Sure it costs nothing to be polite. Even to inanimate search engines - they do work very hard.

John, a 25-year-old from Wigan, told the BBC:

"I asked my nan why she used ‘please’ and ‘thank-you’ and it seemed she thinks that there is someone – a physical person – at Google’s headquarters who looks after the searches.

“She thought that by being polite and using her manners, the search would be quicker.”

And Google seem to have appreciated it, tweeting back these sweet responses.

Ah it's all too nice!
