N_____s to say, Jack’s parents had been extremely reluctant to move the old man into their home.

His mother worked at the cheese counter of the local supermarket, and wherever she went, a strong w_____t of cheese came with her.

Instead of spending his days playing football in the park with all the other kids from school, he would stay inside assembling his prized c_________n of model aeroplanes.

Most memorable of all was the time Grandpa decided that a shopping trolley at the supermarket was really a Lancaster bomber. He hurtled down the a_______s on a top-secret mission, hurling huge bags of flour.

Before long, Grandpa was fast asleep on the bottom b____k in the boy’s bedroom, snoring for England.

“Are you N________S? It’s freezing tonight!” replied the woman. “But we have to do something! Grandpa is out there somewhere, lost!”

Before the old man had become too c___________d, he would take his grandson on the most magical days out.

“What on earth is he on about?” demanded Reverend Hogg, before muttering under his breath, “The man is a complete l____n.”

“Well, we’re all really really really worried. Now please let’s not have a competition about who is the most worried!” she shouted a_____y.

Sadly the food at Grandpa’s home was always diabolical. He called it “r_______s”, as he had during the war.

Dad was in his pyjamas and d_______g g______n, hunched over the steering wheel of the family’s little brown car.

Together Grandpa and Jack inhabited their own world and had c_____s imaginary adventures.
