Gentlemen - not 'old men'.
And it's because we're not bloody continental, so have no bloody need for overly flourished gesticulation, like those bloody Ities, what?
An Englishman's voice is his sword - his canon. Together with his wit, - a fusillade of intellectual imperialism.
No need for hands, really.

It's their way of saying;
"I'm retired and you're not."
Also, if their old bird has popped it and they're out on the prowel, it's like an independence thing.
"Look at me, no walking stick, no Zimmerframe!"

The added weight on their back propels them forward, compensating for their ever-increasing inertia.
