To tell DH that a tiger has eaten all the food & drunk all the drink as an excuse as to why there is no tea?

Yes but the husband of Judith Kerr was Nigel Kneale, who wrote Quatermass, so if he was coming home from a hard day spent inventing scary science fiction monsters and making up stories about time travel, a tiger would have seemed quite mild in comparison.
What does your dh do?

Sophie's mummy seems a little wet really.

DH and I were watching the end of CBeebies last night and Floella Benjamin was reading the Tiger who came to tea .

OMG Cod, what a brilliant thread.
I always thought it was an allegory for the family's experiences in the war, too - the cafe scene (going out in her nightie) is like the Bastille Day scene in 'When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit.'

Kathy - DH is an engineer - I have a feeling he wouldn't believe me - he would divorce me if his beer was gone...

Ooooh Idris - I would have loved to see Floella reading it I missed it

Cod- am reading thread & rofl... Your 1st post sums up how I feel about the whole thing!!
