I think Dandy should be a tad worried about this as my dictionary defines 'beatify' as "to announce formally in the Roman Catholic Church that someone who is dead has lived a holy life, usually as the first stage in making that person a saint"And I think Dandy should be beatified. To say you need patience (of a saint) for this job is an understatement. You need stamina too -
However I can confirm that north of the border the man is very much alive and is already regarded by many up here as a saint.
For example, a month ago my bongo suffered a catastrophic aneurysm and bled to death at the side of the road in a cloud of steam . Twenty minutes after a tearful phone call, it was all the kings horses and all the kings men, as dandy rolled up and put it all back together again - head hose replaced, full coolant change and all that that involves.
So I suggest we leave Dandy's beatification for the moment and knight him instead.
