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?

If it was a Glesga jakie it was probably a park bench, and he was drinking a can of Diamond White.

I thought it might be Sir Jackie Stewart

Whowaswotsit · 12/02/2023 22:55

You got me. It was the blue lagoon. But the one with a wee garden table in Patrick so quite classy.
