Graham goes ‘incognito’ for trip around local bars

A PR A NKSTER has gone undercover for his latest wander past his favourite watering holes.

Graham Burns, 57, donned woodland camouflage fatigues while out on his daily exercise route in Broughty Ferry as he stopped by his former haunts The Anchor, The Eagle and The Fort Hotel.

The stunt went down rather well on Sunday, when he shared his excursion on social media.

In fact Graham’s bush-like disguise was so convincing that a dog nearly mistook his costume for a place to stop for a call of nature.

Graham said: “I’ve had a great reaction to the camouflage costume.

“The owners of the bars I stood at have come back to me as well.

“By and large I think I went incognito to the pubs.

“It was obviously very much tongue-in-cheek but I’m glad people have been getting a laugh out of it.

“We also went past the police station and Gillies furniture store and had a few pictures taken, while other members of the public also took photos from a safe distance.

“There was an incident at the Spar where a dog walker came by and the dog was getting closer, I think for a call of nature, and I had to break character just to say ‘don’t let the dog go there’.”

Graham has been donning a series of different costumes, including a Borat-style mankini, to keep people entertained during lockdown.

Several people have shown their support for Graham’s fancy dress parades, with one social media user even jokingly suggesting he should be in the running to become the next prime minister.

Graham added: “We’ve done a few things online during lockdown – our dog Max has even been in costume keeping folk entertained.

“As I’ve said, we’ve had a great reaction from people and that was part of the reason for doing the walkaround in the Ferry.”

After entertaining people in a series of different guises, Graham hasn’t ruled out wearing more unique attire in the weeks ahead.

He said: “We’ll see what happens next.”
