John said that he was a “new man”- br That is, until his wife began br asking John to help her more - br he told her - “Listen, here’s the score: br br Housework is women’s work, ” he said - br that’s the reason I got wed – br ironing shirts when Man U’s on the telly? br Oh no, no way, not on your nelly! “ br br (John was an old-fashioned bloke br and that is how he always spoke) br br His wife, whose name was Susan, smiled - br “You said you’d help me – you beguiled br me when we met – now keep your word! ” br but John pretends he hasn’t heard.
