Armed with a pencil the old yin should have rubbed him oot

Good on him, a few more of them want a smack in the mush. Glad he wasn't hurt. 👍💕

not all heroes are cgi - sorry though i would advise my 77 year old grandad to just hand the wallet over...the mugger could have had a blade....that being said..fkn good on yer pal.

I never go near a cash point at night too dodgy.

Lad

You mean the Welsh Police used their common sense and didn’t arrest this self-defending grandad? Here in Criminals’ Paradise England he’d have been arrested, cautioned and warned he could face a long sentence for hurting a mugger.

Go on lad.. Shame he missed the news an aal..

Go for it unc's Brilliant.

Some heroes don't wear tights.
