I don’t know about Dads Army I was thinking more the characters from
Last of the Summer wine my missus says I resemble Old Compo and it
is when I’ve made the effort to tidy myself up when going out.
thanks harry, long retired.

Cheers Dave.

Well, maybe not in a matchbox, but I’ve no doubt he has something that will frighten the ladies.

Possibly in his lunchbox like Linford Christie.

hiya,
Brian, you’ve misquoted there, you’re post should read “USED” to have something that “MAY” have frightened the ladies.
thanks harry, long retired.

Oh Harry, you’re far too modest, no need to be shy on here with us old lorry drivers, we “understand”.

harry_gill · 28 October 2013 12:02

Spot on Brian, “modest” should be my middle name, I like it.

No I think artful and flexible would be more appropriate Harry.

hiya,
Yes Dave artful and flexible you’d need both those attributes to be a successful
pickpocket, I couldn’t do that, but I could quite happily snap someone’s fingers
who I caught trying to get in my pocket or someone else’s for that matter.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hmn, “artful”, now there’s a word that can have many meanings, usually means “crafty owd bugga”.

So, a CV for our man:-
Mr H Gill, modest, artful (crafty owd bugga), scourge of the ladies, ex knight of the road (retired), skilled whisky drinker, hidden talents. )
Sounds good to me Harry.

Hey, I once got done in Prague, I wouldn’t have believed it possible that anybody could get in my jeans pocket and lift my wallet, but they did, (not back pocket, the everyday side pocket. I knew straight away where it had happened but it was too late then. I got jostled on a crowded metro train, luckily they only got a few â‚¬’s I had most of our stuff, cards etc. in a safe at the hotel.
Moral:- NEVER carry more that your immediate needs, ALWAYS make use of a hotel safe.

Missed one from Harrys CV…“bon viveur” (that’s French ) but it applies to Harry.

Roughly translated… Good living pleasure seeker

what kind of yorkshireman are you brian ■■ i was led to believe that yorkshiremen had zips on their pockets . most of those i have known must have because i rarely saw them put their hands in when the brews/beers were coming .

Even I have a chain on it, and in my trousers pocket, after I lost it in the 90’s, I have have a few nibbles at it, once on the tube I felt a tug, I gave a sharp elbow, nothing was said, but it was just at a station , this skinny eastern eurpean got off quick, I think he had intigestion, he was bent over and holding his stomach. Another time was in Poland in a market place, they attempted, I just caught my wallet as it touched my leg, it was nearly dangling , also in Tunisia, again in a market, they tried me I gave the bloke a push in the back, he was trying to slow me down, then they done the same with my wife, but all the goodies was in the safe, she said he put his hand in my bag. they even slit leather handbags to put their hand in to get at the purses.

Put a mousetrap in your pocket, unsprung, but just remember not to put your own hand in there.
Cheers Dave.
