Walking with your hands behind your back

[numbnuts]

Only when I'm tied up.

 

[marshmella]

No I don't.

Does it help counterbalance the old age forward stoop?

Yes i read this while looking through a book in the Works. Apparently the correct way is one arm behind the back bent at about 90 degrees

I do it to feel like Professor Yaffle.

I do it to feel like an old fashioned Bobby*. I sometimes mutter ello ello ello under my breath, and flex my knees while stationary.


(* In the days before they all started to walk around with their hands stuck in the armpit holes of their stab vests)

I used to walk like that often, but now that I'm older they have started to cuff me in the front.

There just checking there pension book and bus pass hasn't fallen out of there pockets.

There are a couple of schools that are introducing this as a means of keeping the children from running and shoving each other.
It seems quite an odd thing to do to me, but I have a tendency of tripping over my own shadow so I need my hands ready to stop the fall.

Only when I'm meeting members of the general public. It deters them from trying to shake hands with me.

Though my first thought was Mr Chips, and google turned this up. I didn't even know Martin Clunes had played Mr Chips

I have recently discovered the sense of peace and tranquility afforded by the gentle unhurried stroll, I find the experience is greatly enhanced by folding the hands behind the back. I don't do it very often but I highly reccomend the occasional surrender to old age.

I too have recently noticed that my hands naturally find themselves behind my back, either whilst walking or standing, mmm maybe I am now an old git like Accy?

I love the Queen's Bianchi celeste coloured outfit.

 

[PeteXXX]

I sometimes ride my bike with my hands behind my back..
'Look, mum, no hands'
'Look, mum, no teeth!'
