| Mum Claire had taken him to McDonald's at Clifton Moor, York, to help him gain confidence with the walking frame he needs to get about. |
| They borrow money from the Bank of Mum and Dad, which most will never repay. |
| Last year she started smelling pretty bad and acting up so Mum made her sleep outside in the wood shed during the summer. |
| When we were boys Mum told my brothers and I not to use rude words or she'd wash our mouths out with soap. |
| We spent a quiet time eating and drinking and chatting until, around 4pm, we drove Mum home. |
| But I was still jet-lagged from visiting 99-year-old Mum in the U.K., so I luckily postponed my visit. |
