Dapper great-grandad Brian Loughans is believed to be Britain's oldest takeaway driver - at the grand age of 82.

Brian works on average 18 hours per week and hasn’t missed a single shift since he started the job around two-and-a-half-years-ago.

The RAF veteran and former cabbie delivers takeaways from the Indian restaurant in his Vauxhall Vectra in all weathers dressed smartly in shirt and tie - and without a SATNAV.

He tends to cover the West Yorkshire area but 18 months found himself driving a staggering 112 miles down to West Bromwich for a regular customer.

The widower, whose wife of 50-years Margaret, 69, died several years ago, has no plans to put his feet up anytime soon because the job keeps him busy.

He actually started working for Kiplings restaurant in Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax, almost by chance.

Brian was already known in the area for going door to door with Yellow Pages and the restaurant asked if he could deliver menus.
