Terry Prone: Standing on one leg has become a tedious part of my daily routine

My colleague is a serious man. Grave, on occasion. Not saying he has no sense of humour — his is in fine fettle — but I wasn’t expecting the flamingoes on his socks. Not a flamboyance of flamingoes, that being the gorgeous collective term for the improbably pink birds. Single flamingoes, he had. Flamingoes progressing single file and single foot.
