I actually knew the guy to an extent.
Used to catch the train with him from Glasgow to Leeds when he was travelling back from Glencoe every month.
He ended up living about 2 mins from my house too.
Quality bloke who kept me amused every time I sat with him, can't think of a bad word to say really.
Years ago, he told me loads of really interesting historical stuff about all the places we passed on the train journey, particularly from Edinburgh to York. Some cracking tales that had an awesome legend/fable built into them.
I spent the next couple of months basically passing on all these stories and facts to other people I was travelling with.
Then I met the trackie clad muppet with his little old mate David (who used to constantly wear a hat with a radio built into it) and I said something along the lines of "ah, look sir jim, there's that swan that's been there for 10 years waiting for it's partner to return". He was like "what the heck are you on about?!". Then I told him that he had told me the story about the swan at the lake as you leave Durham, along with loads of other stuff along the route a while back. His reply was..... "ah, I was only joking, just making it all up to pass the time, you know."
Couldn't believe it, 5 hours worth of complete nonsense
RIP Jimmy. I'll miss not bumping into you at Nawaab Khan ya dobber
