Mine generally complains whenever I buy anything new – which is usually to replace something that is totally worn out.
I got out my 15yo Altura waterproof jacket yesterday, shes says, accusingly “how long have you had that?” clearly thinking I’d spent another £100 on bike gear – 15 years roughly – Oh, OK.
3 weeks ago we went to an awards dinner. They had a charity auction of not great, signed, pictures of athletes in far too large frames. Shes said she liked the Sally Gunnell one. £300.
Then later, she confessed that she’d bought a Dennis Bergkamp boot at £700.
I couldnt beleive it then.Apart from they are both tacky, we have nowhere to put them. So she cannot complain at my spending any more.
