No lowering of standards EMC, you hang in there. One day your Prince will come! When he turns up give me a shout will you, he might have a dad, brother, uncle, uncles brothers son or something that might suit me.:)
You're probably right Keef but it was still a cringeable moment when my friend was trying to shut me up by indicating with her eyes that the wife was behind me.
I've had a fair few red faced incidences. One that springs to mind is when I worked in a bank when I was about 19 and the bank manager (who all of us girls called Tit Talker) was being really suggestive and creepy. I went into the loos and said in a loud slur to a friend. "Mr **** is such a flipping (or something like that) creep, he's just asked to take me for dinner". Guess whose wife was putting her lippy on in the same toilet! :-$
