My son says his father-in-law, who suffers from IMS, is the roll model for Victor Meldrew. Things happen to him.
He lives in Southend and a couple of years ago a new sex-shop opened in a shopping centre nearby. There were protests and demonstrations outside the place but Alan's in-laws, out shopping, decided they'd go in and have a look to see what all the fuss was about. The shop was quite full of people and father-in-law was standing innocently looking at some items on a shelf when suddenly the door burst open and a woman stuck her head inside the shop, looked straight at him (ignoring everybody else), shouted "pervert" then slammed the door again.
