A new Handle for Gary.

When I was a primary school kid I had 2 front teeth broken when I collided with Michael Vanstone. I carried this condition until my late 20’s when our local dentist, Bud Ford capped them with gold. Gold is pliable thus it was the medium used.
Some time about the mid nineties I was spraying cotton at Walget NSW on the Darling River. One of these farmers in particular was a scallywag and put a new handle on me. “Gary Glitter”. My new name became well known very quickly and no doubt they all had a good chuckle at my expense.
Some years later the adhesive holding the gold in place failed on one so it was back to the dentist and this time replaced with a whitecap. This was not so much in your face I had the second replaced in white aswell and so my new name no longer had reason to exist.
So as you can make a comparison I show the 2 gary’s below.It’s a bit like the 2 Ronnies isn’t it. Do you have that English show in America?
