Searching through the old albums for pictures to scan in I came across this. Here is my poor brother in law, soon after he married my sister in 1961, trapped in the kitchen with a small portion of the work she had designated as his! The honeyed words, the gentle promises, the bright future living 'happily ever after,' that he had been led to believe lay before him, revealed as a chain to the kitchen sink! He would have been better joining the army!
Never trust a woman!

I love these old black and white images. Reminds me of my Dad trying to dodge doing the dishes back in the 1950's before the days of refrigerators and other mod cons.
and I bet she made him cook as well, tsk... ;D
An army grenade lobbed through a crack in the kitchen door would have been a great way to start the chore.
It looks like the house was built on the side of a very steep hill, 48 years on he probably hasn't the strength to climb up to the kitchen sink anymore.
Mike, Old pics are good - unles you are in them!
SG, no way would she let him cook!
Martyn, It's the weight of the plates that cause the slope...
What a wonderful old photo! Do men even do dishes anymore?
(at their mums does not count...)
