I must resist the impulse to correct that to "A Lady's eyes". I cannot argue with the sentiment though.

I will accept "the eyes of a lady" as an honourable compromise.  ;)

I wonder what would happen if Nick bought a £2000 home cinema thingy out of the blue(ray)?

Exactly! I knew it would cost him dear when he said she had gone quiet about the court case.

So now we know ~ £300+ for the solicitor, around £500 fine and £2000 for a rug and he still gets a 12 month ban reduced to 9 months if he does the Drink Awareness Course.

Be cheaper to have married the solicitor.  whistle:

I had to tell Mrs Growler, sorry. I sat down with a whiskey cus I was suffering from shock, so she asked what the matter was like.

I asked her what sh'd have said if I'd bought a rug.
She asked why would I want a rug. I said I wouldn't, but hypothetically like...

I asked her to ask me how much it was, so i told her.
She burst out laughin'! happy001

After she'd calmed down like, she told me that if I'd paid that much I could go and sleep on it in the garden...for good. eeek:

I suspect for Nick the option may have been the other way round.

Remember ~ I have been married to this woman's spiritual sister in a previous life.

You ARE joking ey?  eeek:
Even the sometimes crazy Mrs Growler wouldn't pull a stunt like that on me. Even if I was a millionaire I'd have gone ballistic.

For the dosh you've paid wasted out for some bit of an old floor rag, I'd have been willing to be on you beck and call to run you around 24 hours a day for the next 3 months if you wanted, you complete and utter raging looney. confused:
