Eighty-five-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth with coffee
mornings and bingo.
__________
Along with fellow members of the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he embarks on a wild
spree of octogenarian anarchy. But the home's director will not stand for any
more drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks or geriatric romance. The good name
of the care home will not be disgraced.
But when Hendrik learns of a plan to close the home down he realises life
outside it could be much worse. He and the gang must stop the closure before
it's too late. Or drop dead trying . . .
