Was Keithy a male nurse by any chance? My mum used to talk about him, she was never one for going into town and was a nurse so that's the only link I can think of?

My granny served those steak canadians right up until the day she died; if anyone gave her any gyp, she'd bray em over the knuckles with a metal spatula.

That was a ritual every Friday and Saturday night - god knows why; you'd to queue up like you were collecting your pension from the post office, and when you got it, it was chuffin rank.
