Good on the man! He's an absolute legend. I remember meeting him at the age of 5 at company event when my old man used to work for Little Chef.

I also wrote in for Jim'll Fix It to fly on Concorde, but I never got my "fix". I did however get a hand written reply letter which my mum found before they moved abroad in the clear-out!

Good man. It is amazing how many people just drive past accidents nowadays.

Now then, now then, now then good man

The guy is a legend. He's also fking bonkers as well.... Good on yer.

Celebrity or not I dont think its right to give him a Police jacket.

But fair play for actually doing something about it

[Wacky Racer]

Can't see what all the fuss is about...he's waved a few cars past.......

However,I agree he is a legend though, had a hard life...been a Bevin boy down the pits, been a professional wrestler etc, and superfit, doing umpteen marathons in his sixties and seventies.........

A real star......

'The star of Jim'll Fix It donned a high-visibility police jacket and safely guided vehicles past the scene in Oakwood, north Leeds, on Sunday.'

If any of us tried that we'd probably be branded 'local nutter' and arrested for impersonating a police officer.

The guys as zany as they come and a true British Eccentric, he must be a hundred and fifty years old now . He reminds me a bit of the late Spike Milligan.

I did exactly the same a few weeks ago when a cyclist was hit by a car at a junction near where I live. It was a way I could help and no big deal. Did it warrant press attention? Of course not, it was just something one does when the situation demands.

Hardly the thing of legend.

He was given the high visibility vest by the police when they arrived.

I think you miss the whole point. If you look back at his life, he IS a legend. This was just one of his many additions...

Agreed.
A few years back a car went though the side of someones house on the main A12. While other people were helping the occupants of car I was directing the main traffic until the emergency services arrived.
