Here's a bit more:
Mr Wiggin carefully stuck the newspaper cutting in place, closed the scrapbook, and sighed.
It had happened again, and to such a nice young lady too. Still, nobody could say it was his fault. He'd told 'em over and over. He'd seen the lights. He'd wandered up and down the street with a placard too. And now they'd put him in this converted waterfront hotel with a nice gentleman who came in to check on him every Monday and brought him meals. Something about sociable services. Which reminded him, black pudding tonight!
“You think I'm mad. Don't you” he grumbled. “Mad old Mr Wiggin. Two planks short of a timberyard; that's me."
Of course not sir, now if you’ll just pass me your hat I can can put in on the stand next to your coat. There. That's better isn't it. Do you want me to put the radio for you...
The problem with the nice young gentleman was that he never talked about anything interesting and never did anything interesting. He was never interested in anything, so far as Mr Wiggin could tell. He'd given up talking about the pier years ago after that dear old lady had pushed a shopping trolley full of bin-liners into the sea. He'd tried showing the lad some of his old military kit once too, but that had met with just at little enthusiasm as anything else. Mr Wiggin had learnt to keep his thoughts to himself.
