The Retirement Thread

You have a chauffeur to take your car to the garage? Dead posh

Hehehe. My garage always pick my car up and drop it back off when it's MOT and service time. It's all part of their service and they don't have me hovering in the garage trying to hurry them up. They can do it in their own time. It's a win win situation. They even jet wash it for me.

Morning all .
No sign of the 40 mph wind we have been promised......its wind but not that bad.
Here is a strange situation.
MrsDs sister's son lives in Norwich with his girlfriend (both divorced). They are visiting Warrington this week and we are meeting for lunch.......which we are looking forward to.
Now for the strange bit.
His parents (thats my SiL+hubby) and her parents are all very religious.......all members of the same religion.
As such neither set of parents will allow the couple to share a bed under thier roof. So one stays with his parents and 'tother is staying with her parents.
They are both 40+ and not allowed to sleep together. Takes all sorts doesn't it.

Indeed it does (take all sorts).

I don’t share the respective parents views, but, nice to see the “young” couple have the good grace to respect them.

My maternal grandmother was far more liberal than them. She was born in 1883.
When I visited her with my girlfriend (future wife) in 1975, she'd made up the double bed in the spare room and insisted we used it.
Odd how folks differ, ain't it.

Yes, well, we are all different

I'm just glad that all my family, except for one aunt and uncle who we're Catholics, were liberal free thinkers.
