Retired Scottish painter has world’s neatest handwriting

Ron Gordon, 78, of Aberdeen, has such a steady hand that many would struggle to distinguish it from newsprint.

Now the retired painter and decorator is using his world title as an excuse to get out of odd jobs in the house.

He said: “I keep saying to my wife that I can’t do a certain job in case I damage my hands.”
