Poor Dad! He does have a lot to deal with! Yesterday he was roped in to Greenwood's neighbour's funeral. He told him that he definitely didn't want to go to the wake afterwards..and what did Greenwood do..yes, go to the wake as he knew that Dad needed him for the lift back. Anyway, Mum made me laugh as she told me something on the phone about these two. Well, Greenwood told Dad that he had sent his Mrs out for some pork spare ribs and gave her £10. She came back with £8's worth to which Dad said "was it a whole pig or something?" lol Greenwood then told Dad in the car that his Mrs "wants me to buy her a coat she's seen for £60. It's reduced but sounds expensive to me. Who buys a coat for that amount of money? She hasn't paid me my £2 back she owes for the ribs yet.." To which Dad replied, "Brian, I have the solution for you. Why don't you just give her £58 and call it quits!" Haha! At the wake that Dad didn't really want to go to he did relay a story about finding work in Blackpool which MAY explain why he's got a "thing" about "illegals" as he calls them. He told everyone who would listen (my Dad that is) that he had heard that there were construction jobs going on a building site in Cleveleys (when my brother was born in 1967) and proceeded to walk there for the job...only to be told on-site that "they only employed men from Ireland!" Greenwood then piped up, "My Jean is Irish!" and Jean said, "I'm with Vern on this one!" Vernon is my Dad's name. Haha! Good on yer Jean, sticking up for my Dad. Greenwood was sulking all the way back from the wake because of that little comment!
