Idle pipe dreams ! As per usual!
Dear Agnes,
I trust you will treat my problem sensitively – the reason why I write.
For some time I have strongly suspected my wife of having an affair.
Anyway, back to Penelope. She displays all the usual signs: receiving and making odd phone calls at peculiar hours; staying out late with ‘friends from work’; being dropped off some distance from home on her return.
One night I secreted myself behind ‘Bessie’ and kept a watchful eye.
Sure enough about midnight a sports car pulled up just down the road and out got my wife, as bold as brass!
Then, just at that moment I spotted it!
On the tarmac beneath the Morris was a large oil slick, just beneath the sump!
I fear I may have blown a gasket!
What do you think?

Dear Piedro,
If you have not blown a gasket, you ought to have done!
You have no option, Piedro!
You must strip her down immediately, clean her up as best you can and give her a thorough and complete servicing!
And first thing in the morning, leave your car with a reputable mechanic!
Agnes
