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?"

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.
