Mike Hammond just wants his dad to have a bit of a social life. His 88-year-old father had to move closer to his family, in assisted housing... but this meant moving away from his friends. Mike goes out to the pub with his dad once a week, but feels he needs to get out a bit more...
“He is a very intelligent man with a physics and math degree,” Mike told the Daily Mail. “He used to go to the pub three or four times a week and have a couple of halves of Fosters with a neighbour who was of a similar age. It's the company he misses more than anything.”
...and so Mike's advertised for a person to accompany his dad to the pub. And he's offering to pay £7 ($14) an hour, plus expenses!
Twitch of the mantilla to the Digital Hairshirt for spotting this one!

I would do it for free, in a heartbeat, if I lived closer.
I hope that gentleman finds a nice friend.
Some great posts Mac!
The Father of This Lot would accompany anybody to a pub, at any time, for nothing.
And does. Frequently.
