That's a bit harsh.

Cruel but fair, that's our motto.

Interviewer: But the police have film of the TV aerial contractor

told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and
that's good enough for me with Mr Wright. I mean, he didn't want to
nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me

your wife's head to a coffee table. Isn't that right Mrs O' Tracey?

(their mum).
