If they tried to tell him he would just say he was touched by genius and brilliance, and has knowledge they don't have (but which he is keeping to himself.) That's how he got out of the argument with Dee, and it worked. She gave up and took herself off
I'm going to try that on my missus the next time she is bawling me out...

wrong. hes taken on board criticisms and even thanked many people for them...the man is now a clean freak showering at will....though the floor is slippery and he struggles with balance.

Gary will have the last laugh on all of them....alongside Frenchy.

And Lauren piddles in the pool and George sucks water into into mouth because she said she peed. After that I'd rather Gary made me a bacon sandwich than George. However if you were round your 70year old grannies with a bunch of mates would you sit around and expect her to cook and clean for you all?

Gary does have a lot of 'presence' but I think a lot of people are forgetting he is elderly now.

Yes, he has done that too...fair play...but he has also used the 'i have knowledge that you don't' tactic several times.

He probably does have that knowledge.

What knowledge? Why does he just state it but not share it?

That's a bit patronizing. My goodness, 70 isn't that old these days. He's not exactly sitting in a chair drooling with a rug over his knees....the man has plenty of energy and spark and he looks as capable of doing everyday things as the next person. He may not be able to run about and do press ups, but his limbs and hands are in working order. He's 70, not 90.

That doesn't mean younger people shouldn't have some consideration. My mother is 70 and my kids very considerate towards her.

Of course they should, absolutely. We were all taught that and teach our own kids to do the same.
But consideration for others is good at any age so Gary should clean the toilet after himself, help out in the kitchen now and then, make someone a cuppa etc. Little things can mean a lot.

[Mystic Mock]

Gary is as fit as a fiddle, and the ladies in there just can't express their love for him.

Being serious yes it probably would've been better for him if he was younger and more attractive in the house.

[LemonJam]

anyone would get more respect if they're better looking but it wouldn't disregard the fact he's a pretty rude person.

[Ammi]

..no I think they would be kinder/more tolerant if they liked him more and it would be the same whatever his age or sex because I think it's just that he doesn't 'fit' with their personalities and that could happen with anyone...
