Basically thunderchild, Old Norm was being looked after by his former agent, who herself was nearly 70 at his home on the Isle of Man. She needed restbite and he was passed on to family members in Sussex.
Although he still has most of his marbles and is fairly active he is slightly cantankarous and a little hard work (for example he refuses to bathe).
He family were jiggled aabout and was decided to place him in a care home for the elderly.
One "problem" with Norm is he has to play up to an audience. So even a drive to the shops there were autographs, photos, jokes etc.
In the rest home, he has a captive audience 24/7, which he craves.
He came accross a very dignified and polite old gent however, with a glint in his eyes for the ladies!!!
