The problem comes when the Mrs then rips a strip off them and makes a

[1] Not suggesting that is the case here of course, but you can see
that making assumptions that all is cordial and cosy between two
people just because they share a surname is not always a safe
assumption.


We had a major problem with an insurance company applying details of an
accident to the wrong part. It was resolved, only to pop up at the next
renewal when another company accused my wife of not declaring an
accident of mine.

We made a total of £500 in compensation out of that.

I think Matalan are still convinced that I am Mrs Rumin or something
similar!


I have the same problem with Long Tall Sally (or I did before their
recent troubles), because I have bought presents for SWMBO from there.
They assumed that all their customers were female.
