An exhausted-looking wife is chatting to her neighbour, watching as her husband and the removal men load their furniture into the removal lorry. Her face reflects her anger.

WIFE: Yes, well, we would have been gone about two hours ago, if it wasn’t for sonny Jim over there. Can you imagine, I spend days going round the packed boxes and furniture, marking them with coloured stickers so the removal men will know which rooms the boxes need to be left in at the new place. Then, along comes my darling husband an hour before the removal company arrives, with a handful of coloured stickers that he’s assumed the kids stuck on the boxes and furniture and has spent the best part of an hour finding and removing. Oooh, if a divorce was cheaper than moving then he’d be gone!
