My wife told me as a great favour I could have my Birthday Meal wherever I liked.
It was not so simple.
My first choice was Chinese.
'That makes me ill' said my wife.
'Indian then?'
'I can't stand their spices.'
'Fish. I love fish.'
'You know we can't with fish stocks diminishing in the world.'
'English?'
'Boring'
'French?'
'Too expensive.'
'Italian?'
'Oh yes. I like Italian. Thanks for picking my favourite for your Birthday treat.'
