I think that's largely true McGrath. I was thrilled when I noticed his small beard was turning white, but when I mentioned it, he shaved it off, the sod. He also wears a variety of Premier League football strips, track suits and so on, which make him look about twenty.
Recently, in our doctor's surgery, he was strutting about in a Norwich City football strip and a lady asked for his autograph. As he was speaking French to me she'd thought he was a Norwich City defender called Bassong! He was deliciously delighted with that for days afterwards.
