U.K.: Son offers £7 an hour for someone to take his elderly dad to the pub

LONDON, England (Daily Mirror), April 3, 2008: A son is offering £7 an hour for someone to take his elderly dad to the pub for a beer. When great grandad Jack Hammond, 88, had to move into a care home, he found a good local but has no one to go with him for a pint. So his son, Mike, 56, advertised at the local post office for someone to join the former radar technician at the Compass Inn in Winsor, Hants, twice a week for a few drinks. He said: "We're looking for someone who can share a conversation. He's not a heavy drinker, it's the company he misses. He's intelligent with physics and maths degrees." Source: Mirror.co.uk
