A moving story
This morning, just before I was going to take me daughter over to primary school I went outside to check me car (as it's a clapped out piece of shit) and my Iranian neighbour Mohammed walked over to my car. Mohammed's my next door neighbour and has had a rough time as of late; his wife and children left him while he was in work as she felt trapped in her environment. This added with the fact that the only English word she could utter was "Hi" made her want out. So one night while he was working, she packed her stuff, got the Police to pick her up as she didn't know any other number, and was carted off into the unknown with Mohammed none the wiser. He finished his shift at half eleven one night, gets home and finds it derelict, the fallout being we ended up having to calm him down until 1am while we tried to piece together what happened (she'd actually been taken in by the Protection services until they could get an interpreter; all they'd received was a phonecall from her family in another country pleading if someone could help her).

So anyroads, he wanders upto me, gives me a big man-hug and tells me in broken English that all his praying has paid off and his wife wants him back, with him moving away this morning to Cardiff. Apparently she has alot more friends there and she doesn't feel as isolated as she did here, so he's happy as long as she is and he can live with his kids again. I congratulate him, and call him in the house to tell the missus who is currently getting our daughter ready for school. He gives her this speech where he's practically crying tears of joy as he's getting to see his family again, until the missus drops this question;

"Are you going soon? Cos part of me daughter's bike fell over your wall in your back garden and she needs it back."

Talk about an awkward goodbye after that.

I'm confused.
You appear to understand the English language and use it effectively, apart from when describing yourself and your family.
For the record, it's "... my daughter...".
You give Northern monkies a bad name.

Firstly I'm not a Northerner, unless you are referring to the hemisphere instead of the UK.
Secondly I typed "me daughter" deliberately to make it slightly less formal. Sorry if that disappoints you :(

How is wrong "less formal"?
Sorry, thought you were Northern as it seems common amoungst us monkies. Though I've no idea why, since it's pronounced "...mi daughter..." around here.
