Hi OH,
The man lives in this area unfortunately.
He is about as genuine as Rocking Horse crap!!!

Oh dear, an AT thread.

I was at Malvern when the Grock met him. I should be out of therapy soon, and the security guard eventually dropped the case of being harrassed by mad scouse woman brandishing a HDRA booklet with intent to cause herbicide!!!!

I was then subjected to Grock, walking along, both hands full, tears streaming down her scales crying "I met Alan Titchmarsh, i'm so happy" and getting funny looks from onlookers.

It was lovely seeing the old dragon so happy though, plus it's given a lot of people a good laugh when they hear how overcome with emotion she became.

I have to say, the Mr T was the complete gent. A really nice, genuine guy. Maybe i'll meet him next time :twisted:

Enjoy yourself Jopsy

Oh yes Jopsy, the Grock has scales and lives in a cave with the little Grocklets and her husband. He's a different species so they have mutant Grocklets which is quite unusual :shock:
