Do you know who he reminds me of? My Grandfather.
Strange that, quite emotional.
Walking down the hill on his way to work , he fell.
I had to hide. I was told not to laugh!
Grandad's name? Arthur!
We cannae sing Elvis! 🎵...She Cries..😢
He's going to the pub..
He's going to collect his lottery ticket! He's dropped it!! See at his feet!!
He looks like he's got a tackety boot!
Boots with steel nails. Hob Nail Boots!
Does he work in the pub?
I doubt it by the look of him.
I bet he's going for his pension, he could be going to the bank
It's all online now..paid into your bank
He needs to go to the computer class on a Thursday!
He wanted to go to his GP but he couldn't get an appointment.
He's going down the Tank Brae for his Buckfast!
Remember Eldorado? That wine makes you sick! 🤮
The old guy was wishing he had the wings of a butterfly then he could get rid of his stick!
Ellen!! He's younger than you! So is she!
I just hope his name's not Arthur..
We're done.
The End
I think he's going to the bookies
I think he's going to mass! Waiting for God! He's got his wings.
He can hear the traffic! Depends if his hearing aid is working!
I hope Arthur's not up there watching me....
It's wuite a modern crutch, more recent than you think..
And he was turned down for mobility!
I bet he's not as old as we think!
