Agreed, Rebecca, priceless. Time for confession: When Mrs Skeeter and I got married, we had £100 between us. We blew most of that on things for the house like pots and pans and a small axe for Mrs Skeeter. (She was to be in charge of firewood for the cooking stove.) For our first anniversary, I decided that what we most needed was a mop. Fortunately for me, in the 1950s such male-dominant behaviour was the norm. Also, we were too poor to have a dog. It will probably make you girls feel better when I tell you that, 50 years later, I am the one that chops the wood and mops the floors.

Thanks for the Laugh Of The Day! That was priceless.
