[WendyWeber]

They look very well on it too!

awwwww

this'll be dh and i

shoot me now

lolol

Aww. I love the fact one of their children is 78!

How fantastic
Just 72 years 3 months to go for DH and me

That warmed me cockles that did

What a lovely story. They both speak a lot of sense too!

Lovely story. Imagine the threads they might have started had MN existed back in the day, though: 'AIBU - dh wants to buy a colour TV but I need a spin dryer...' etc. etc. etc.!

(Mail online really needs some weekend subs, btw - they've left 'all corr' and 'corr' in after the names of the long-married Indian couple.)

I noticed that, edam - what does it mean, please?

It means "correct" as in the reporter telling the subs: "I have checked these names, this is the right spelling, don't go messing around with them for Gawd's sake, there's a love."

Oh, you mean because they are - er - foreign?

Good grief!

Btw, first rule of journalism - you can make as many mistakes as you like, libel someone from Andover to Zeebrugge, but if you really want to upset them, get their name wrong!

Nah, applies to any name although obviously more potential for error with foreign names. But calling a Brown a Browne or a Debra a Deborah is just as likely to upset someone.

anyway, you should know that, from your regular gig at the Guardian, you Posy Simmonds creation you!
