I was out for my lunch today and there was a gentleman in the restaurant who I’m sure I recognised. Now maybe he gets the same bus as me or maybe he is someone famous?

He was:
Early 70s
White shaggy hair (lots of it)
white eyebrows.
In glasgow
if I had to bet he’s something to do with sport.

anyone know who he might be?

Haha, I see someone got there first with Stanley Johnson. Did you hear him speak? What accent/voice?

Des Lynham?

I really thought he was dead! Who am I thinking of?

Anyway, Billy Connolly for OP.

TheShellBeach · 12/02/2023 22:27

Just read your OP to DH, who is Scottish, and we live quite near to Glasgow, and he said "What The Fuck?"

HTH

Whowaswotsit · 12/02/2023 22:28

None of those. Thinner in the face

Not captain birdseye. No one as famous as rod or billy.

I don’t hear him speak.

mumsnet has solved more random puzzles than this …

".............mumsnet has solved more random puzzles than this.........."

Possibly there was a LEETLE bit more information, OP.

I love the way you reject the possibility that he could have been Captain Birdseye, BTW. Are you absolutely certain?

DestinysGrandchild · 12/02/2023 22:30

It could still be my grandad though, OP😅

TheShellBeach · 12/02/2023 22:31

I don’t hear him speak.

So he could have been Captain Birdseye, then.
