    I think she's still looking insufficiently worried about the prospect of hubby getting a manky coffee. Wonder what he'll do if she fails to boil the water properly for his tea?

      With marketing like that no wonder the brand has sunk without trace.

      That advert reminds me of these pearls of wisdom for the 1950's ;)

      The Good Wife’s Guide.
      Extract from Housekeeping Monthly, 1955.
      • Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
      • Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
      • Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours.
      • Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.
        Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
      • Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
      • Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
      • A good wife always knows her place.

            What a load of BUNKUM!!

            :love30:Pleaseee.... Well, that counts me out too. Well, I'm still with my OH (22yrs, and he is 22yrs older than me).

            Does this count for House husbands as well?:scratch:
