Years ago we were friends with another family with children of the same age as ours.
She:- the children were marvelous in the car, there was little traffic on the Autobahn, they were first on the ferry,, millpond crossing, first off.
He:- the kids were utter shits, he nearly dropped them off on the Belgian border, the traffic was horrendous, only just made the ferry, sea-sick everywhere, stuck behind an idiot who'd lost his keys so couldn't get off the ferry for an hour.
We were once being lectured by her in their kitchen about how no processed food, sugar, frozen food every crossed their threshold as he came up from the cellar with a box of Birds Eye burgers ready for the bbq!
The Christmas 'boast by post' was named for her, she never knew that we knew other people who knew where the matrimonial bodies were hidden!
