You've not heard Grandad by Clive Dunn? Please allow me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KJGJRd8pGE

That was poor punctuation from me.

Thank you for being so concerned that I was missing something, Jules - but I won't be clicking on the link. Did you know Clive Dunn was only 50 when he recorded that song?

Pah! I was a grandad at 47! I didn't make a song or dance about it though.

Indeed. He was never in Nazareth. They were Dan McCafferty, Manny Charlton, Pete Agnew and Darrell Sweet.
