I haven't forgotten, although when there was a planned 'family event' (involving a hospitality suite at the F1 Grand Prix from memory) when I jogged your memory about your adoptive children, me and @DejaBrew you responded about wanting to have Mummy and Daddy time and we were excluded Maybe just an oversight or at worst selective memory, like when you mis-remember how things ended up in your bag, but that's ok. Possibly like Zoe Williams in her article.

The pre-university shop is the moment you find out how much domestic wisdom you’ve managed to impart. In my case, none, writes Zoe Williams

What can I say ?!? I’m a bad mother

Deja and Kooka - next years F1 is not even scheduled - you know that by now I would have bought your long overdue tickets … if I could. I will accept no Mothers Day gift May 2027.

I’ve recounted this story before, but this thread reminds me of the time my mother went to a hotel reception and asked for a pen and paper.

‘Are you a guest of the hotel madam?’

‘Certainly not’ she shot back…

‘I’m paying to stay here!’

Or when you front up to a restaurant.

"Do you have reservations?"

"Yes, but when you are as hungry as I am. I'll throw caution to the wind".
