Fantastic .

How is he doing?

My dad is 98 in Dec and is getting a bit creaky. Knees are the latest problem but he is still mobile and cheerful.

Fine thank you, he's still at home and mobile with his wife, so he's still got it all (including his money  :-X ;) )

Congrats and Happy Birthday to your Dad Zirk!  :y

Did he get a card from the King* and how the hell do you fit 100 candles on a cake?  :o  ;D

*Presumably they don't do telegrams anymore?  :-\  Unless he got an email or text?  :D

Congrats.

My dad passed away peacefully in his sleep last Oct. Enjoy every moment while he is alive. I have some regrets about things I wished I had asked him about but we still had some fantastic conversations right up to and including his last night.

Thanks All for your kind comments, I will pass them on.

The last car He drove, be it a few years ago, was an Omega, an Opel variant (he lives in Brussels) I remember him ringing me up and saying he needs to give up his Driving Licence and do I want his Omega...       My reply was, no, I'm ok Dad, I've got enough of them at the moment 😉

Yea, thanks for that Albs, I did go through a stage of, not being able to resist a Ex Plod when it's was going cheap.

Problem was, is nobody wanted them, they almost couldn't give them away, I mean why would anybody in there tight mind buy a thrashed out Plod car, that's been screwed to the ground, but has had a Unlimited anount of funds spent on them by the Police Force to keep in tip top running order and instantly repaired properly after any dings. 🤔
