    Wedding lists

    Last time I was in John Lewises there was a couple being led around to write their wedding list. Both obviously 35-year-old accountants who had absolutely no need to be given loads of expensive presents. They were cooing over an expensive spatula and I just wanted to shove it up his arse.


    (and hers, but for different reasons).

    Absolutely agree.

    They do it for the tax breaks as well.

    On a similar theme, could we have andyw back for a day? He's just a poll option/legend to me, I'd love the opportunity to chat to him until he got banned again

    How very cynical.

    You're supposed to give the happy couple a gift to help them along in their lives. It's tradition.

    I'm not sure anybody gets married just for the presents.

    You can always ask, whether you get it different.

    If you just want a or a you only have to ask
