There were scenes of jubilant confusion in the Middleton area this afternoon after a Rochdale woman discovered that her husband had refilled the toilet roll in the downstairs loo.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes.” Barbara Dickinson told The Herald whilst choking back tears. “There it were, as plain as the nose on your face, a brand new roll all in the holder and everything.”
Steve Dickinson has been on a roll, get it, recently after putting his keys in the key bowl by the front door two weeks ago, hanging the bath mat on the radiator last Wednesday and now this.
“I thought it were time I did something nice for Barbara, you know to show her how much she means to me.” Said Steve at the Husband of the Year award ceremony “It’s not every day you turn 40 is it? She has everything else; a Dyson, Sky Sports and a washer dryer; I mean she asks for a new bog roll in the Loo every week without fail. I’m just glad I could her dream come true.”
It hasn’t all been plain sailing for poor old Steve who has spend three days in tense negotiations convincing her that “nothing is going on” and that he really is “just being thoughtful.”
More on this as it breaks.
