Mr P Is An Unassuming Gentleman - 2109 Words

Mr P At 54 years old, Mr P is an unassuming gentleman, who was bright-eyed and friendly when we first met at his local GP surgery. Having gone through 2 divorces, Mr P describes himself as a â€Å"loner†1. He currently lives alone in his flat which is conveniently close to his GP and parents.
