My uncle `Gypsy`George Osborne had a special talent. He could walk on his knees. This is more difficult than it sounds. He used to tuck his knees up behind his arse,making himself appear 4ft tall,and walk into pubs,on his knees,smoking a cigarette and wearing a special suit. This suit had padded knees. If he had no `drinking money` he would walk into pubs on his knees. It was hilarious. People standing at the bar used to burst out laughing. They would always buy him a drink.
This photo shows George in front of the counter of a fish and chip shop in Margate-on his knees.
