1. I had a beard.
2. I had a job he disapproved of.
3. The brakes on my car squealed loudly when I brought his daughter
home at 3 in the morning.
The third was the one he made into An Issue That Must be Resolved.
He was a Conservative.
Her mother, on the other hand, didn’t mind me at all. She
was more concerned that the town where she grew up now had brown people walking
down the High Street. She said she was a Liberal.
My only concern was that I didn’t want to be a part of their
bloody family anyway. One of my most hated expressions is ‘We’re not losing a
daughter, we’re gaining a son.’ Oh no you’re not!
