As is common for a wedding our list of presents consisted of some household items, one of which was a large bin. Some friends got this amongst other things and wrote a card in which one of the friends said to write “No apologies for the rubbish present” The person writing the card put “No apologies for the s**t present.”

Whilst out with a friend in the rain she commented to me “Isn’t it strange? It always rains when I wear my rain coat.”
