And while in town on Thursday, I nipped into Oxfam and bought his cousin for 99p.

Now the world can see what endears her to me...

On the other hand, when I was taking the old cassette off the strimmer to see what kind I needed to buy, she also said "Well, if you paint that black and add some rivets..."
