If The Cap Fits

It is true, he can be grumpy and I am a convenient human Filofax for His Lordship who works on a need to know basis, with little obvious need.

But of course he does use the Internet and is a dab hand with Photoshop's Indesign and unfortunately Internet shopping.
However it is quicker sometimes to ask the wife rather than trawl the Internet.

It might have been more accurate to say "I don't need the vacuum cleaner, my wife knows where it's kept"

He bought this sign in North Berwick yesterday having seen it in a shop window and having, so he said, asked the shop owner how it was that he knew me.

Cheek and a sense of humour outdo the grumpiness and lack of ability with cleaning tools.
