this could be one of many...
Dear father

surprisingly, I ofren think of some of the things you did:


* not letting me cut a slice of bread as women couldn't cut straight
* not letting me buy my own toothpaste as a child - I know you did the shopping, but I was the only person in the house with their own teeth (!)
* calling all music after 1960 'noise'
* buying that ricky martin cd and singing 'she bangs' daily.....?
* saw nothing wrong in wearing dead friends' clothes, even if they were over a foot taller than you
* refusing to let me know how to switch the central heating on
* not letting me eat any christmas food (fruit, nuts) even on christmas eve
*hiding said christmas food in your bedroom and forgetting about it
*moving furniture in said bedroom 4 months later to discover 'misplaced' food stuffs
*buying 'bargain cars' - being picked up from a luxury car dealership (where I worked) in your banana yellow triumph dolomite takes some beating
*taking the fuses out of the fuse box on your way to bed to stop electricity being used whilst you were asleep
*using my car to store your veg, paint, tools

I know you couldn't say that you were proud of me, but I did love you Mr SPB
