Shouty Grandad has been out of sorts recently, he's been suffering from some sort of chest infection which has affected his breathing and kept him indoors out of the cold wind for a few weeks. He is nearly back to 'normal' now and has been let loose on the streets again.On Thursday he and Nanny went into town for some shopping, there was a bitter wind blowing and the queue for the bus grew and grew. They and several other OAPs waited over an hour for the bus, which must have been removed from service or broken down. In the end Grandad said to the other queueees, "We should hijack the next bus and make it go where we want." The OAPs nodded in solidarity. The teenagers giggled at the thought of an OAP take over.
A bus hove into view, Grandad stepped up to the plate, the bus stopped, Grandad got on. The teenagers were howling by this time. Grandad explained to the bus driver that he and his fellow TOGs were frozen, their bus had not come and that he, the bus driver, should take them all home.
Unfortunately for Shouty Grandad his demands were not met. The bus driver was Polish and had no idea what he was going on about! Poor Shouty Grandad.
He's off to Australia for 4 weeks starting next month. 'Hello' international incident!
