Speaking about wives (well I was anyway!) and how they embarrass the shite out of us, sometimes. I remember, a good few years ago now, I had dropped Norma off at the supermarket and then come back later to pick her up. I was sitting in my car, a grey, Ford Granada, when I saw my good lady coming across the car park with a full shopping trolley and the gaggle of kids traipsing along. I jumped out and opened the boot, ready to help load the shopping, when I saw her stop by an almost identical grey, Ford Granada a few cars away. She opened the door, piled all the kids in (the days before kiddie seats and restraints), opened the boot and preceded to load the boot with the shopping. Evil pig that I am, I let her! When she had loaded all the shopping in, she then climbed aboard herself and got comfy. The panic, when I tooted my horn and waved to her and she realised what she had done was priceless. Needless to say, I paid for this bit of fun for days but it was worth it (I think?). Not quite sure what I would have said had the driver of the other Granada come back whilst we were transferring the goodies but, then again, I never figured out why he had left his car completely, unlocked in the first place? Norma said, "I thought there was something funny about that car. It didn't smell the same". I had leather upholstery, his was velour?????
Another time, whilst visiting the NAAFI shop in Lippstadt, she was accosted at the door by a couple of smiling, 'hail hearty' types and told that she was the 100,000th customer and, as such, had won a free trip home to Blighty. Thinking I had put a couple of mates up to play a joke on her, she told them to "stick it where the sun don't shine" and zoomed into the shop. Can't think what those blokes must have thought at this reaction from, what should have been, a very grateful squaddies wife. Never did find out who won the prize either?
