LOL Lynda, that shut him up!

My mother would. She needs an operation to have the damp cloth removed from her hand.

My mum would hover over you if you were eating a sandwich or something on the sofa. As soon as you put the last piece of food in your mouth, she'd whip the plate out of your hand and it would be washed, dried and back in the cupboard before you'd even finished chewing LOL.

Then she'd hoover round your feet in case you'd dropped any crumbs. I'm glad to say, I'm not even close to being that bad.
