Last time I went to see my Dad he gave me a 15 year old Golf TDi and a chainsaw!
I like his stories about the old days but have to admit I've heard some of them a few times...

My dads latest gift is offering to take my car to the MOT and fix any issues, while he was round picking it up he offered yo come round and help plaster the bedroom.

The car passed amazingly so i might suggest he gives it a hoover...

I think saying everything's better in your homeland is just what Dad's do. My son is three and my daughter isn't even one yet and I still like to explain to them how Scots invented the modern world every chance I get.

I can't wait until they get older and they start bringing their friends round so I educate them as well ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

If he's making his own chutney he's probably got jars upon jars of the stuff that he doesn't know what to do with. Everyone he knows probably has a binful.

Nod and smile, say thank you, and keep buggering on.

He's your dad and he loves you.

With chutney.
