Capital Cycles marrying beneath himself ?

I suppose if you only sell Dutch bikes you are bound to come from a family which is a bit up themselves.

I read the text of that email yesterday. Good on the prospective m-i-l!

I think it's preposterous that anyone can come to a sane conclusion about the behaviour of any of the parties involved.

The ones who should be tarred and feathered are the "friends" who chose to share a private email with the rest of the world. I understand the girl seeking emotional support after being subjected to a mail like that, whether it was fair or not, but not those who thought it was fine to forward on private correspondence.

As the son of an eighty year-old snob I can see this all so clearly. People of that age and generation hold views on social status, race, sex and just about everything that are considered unacceptable nowadays. Younger people have learned to hold their tongue but ageing parents have a habit of coming out with some absolute shockers.

What about 73 year-old Jean-Paul Guerlain's racial slur on French TV? Oops!

The father of a bride-to-be criticised in an email by her future mother-in-law today hit back, branding the woman "Miss Fancy Pants".

Speaking from his home in Ledbury, her father Alan Withers, 64, said: "I think she (Mrs Bourne) has her head stuck so far up her own arse she doesn't know whether to speak or fart."

He admitted his own meeting with his future son-in-law's parents had also experienced difficulties.

He said: "Edward was a jovial chap but Carolyn was quite snotty. She had a look about her which made us think she thought she was better than us.

"Ever since that meeting we call her 'Miss Fancy Pants'."

Mr Withers added: "I don't care if she apologises. You can't take back what has been said once it's said. Of course at the wedding we will shake hands and toast Heidi and Freddie."

He revealed that Mrs Bourne, a specialist flower breeder in Dawlish, Devon, sent the email to his daughter three times in one day six weeks ago.

Mr Withers said: "It was sent twice to her personal email and once to her work email. The email was very clearly intended to be sent.

In the email, Mrs Bourne took issue with the couple's decision to hold their reception in a castle, branding it "celebrity style behaviour" and criticised Miss Withers's parents for failing to save sufficiently for their daughter's wedding.

Mr Withers and his wife Sylvia, 60, who both ran an agency supplying nurses to care homes, were made redundant in January. Mr Withers is still unemployed.

The email said Miss Withers’ behaviour had been so rude that it had left the family dog, Bomber, traumatized, depressed and anxious

That made me laugh. Given the sort of things dogs tend to lick as a matter of course, how rude was the girl!

I bet she's the kind of old biddy who thinks her sh*t smells of roses, too!
