I was reminded of this when I read
Alan's blog a week or so ago. He was saying that his wife's 'default' activity is shopping, whereas his most definitely is not. I'm sure that's true of a lot of marriages - and an enterprising pub in Shipley has recognised that fact. Conveniently situated beside the Leeds-bound platform of Shipley railway station, it's ideally placed for a wife to settle her husband in the day-care centre before catching the train to the city shops. I should think it will be busy in the run up to Christmas.
Thank you Jenny, you offered me the first smile of the day!I wish there was such a center here! :o)
ReplyDeleteNow, there's a landlord with some business initiative!
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand idea! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeletePoint me to it Jenny : the GLW and the Lad are always saying it is about time I was put into care.
ReplyDeleteA good idea? . . maybe. I would sound a note of caution to any wife wishing to partake of a spot of "retail therapy" and leaving her husband at the "day care centre" . . Be aware how long you leave them for, I have been wittness to some husbands emerging from similar "day care" having benefited nought and learning nothing . . indeed in some cases loosing the power of speech and comprehension ! ! !
ReplyDeleteVery public spirited!
ReplyDeleteHah! Why is I always end up with the boys? It's not me that's does the shopping around here! :-D
ReplyDeleteNow that's funny! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Jenny. This husband day care center will do a wonderful business over the holidays.
ReplyDeleteThat is why there is always a pub next to the market. However the people in your blog seem to be quite enterprising in getting the wives to pay for the neer!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love their entrepreneurial spirit!
ReplyDeleteExcellent marketing indeed!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteObviously an entertaining and entrepreneurial landlord who deserves to do well out of his initiative! Thanks for sharing this day-brightener.
