Forgotten words from Yesteryear

I do remember years back a scruffy street urchin 2/3 roads away from Maine Road approaching a guy in a posh estate car with this request. The toff replied "Piss off sonny - don't need you - I've got a big German shepherd in the back" Said urchin responded "Does he put out fires boss?"Street parking fee request around Maine Rd - "Can I mind your car?"

Wasn’t sure where to ask this, but where else other than a thread about FOCs and their memories!!
Recently read this in a respected news outlet:
“Yet he felt he had no choice but to try and lead by example.”
Am I wrong, old, deluded, or right in thinking the word “and” should be “to”???
Help, I’m an FOC and I think I may have been left behind by the world!

That’s Oirish by the way. A bit less vitriol than Gobshite but means a bit of a thicko.Gombeen
My old dad used to come out with great sayings.
A gombeen can be described as a ‘bit of a half lad’.
As in, he’s not all there.
