And a bicycle on the boy's birthday ....
Great song, which I shall now have in my head all evening.
Edit: if anyone wonders what on earth I'm on about, it's a lyric from "Shipbuilding" by Robert Wyatt (and covered by Elvis Costello - or was it the other way around?) The song is about an upsurge in the UK shipbuilding industry, thanks to the Falklands war - a depressed industry was given a boost, but potentially at the cost of lives. Very thought-provoking.

Well it is cold outside. But your wife may be useful. Hmm... ask them for a scarf too. A new winter coat, a scarf and some shoes would be a good trade for your wife. The coat and shoes alone are a good offer but not quite worth enough for the trade to be worth it.

That's not a very good swap for a loving wife. On the other hand, if she doesn't like you then you're better off with the shoes & coat.

Sure it is Treat her with a new coat shoes and while you are at it throw in a new dress to match the coat and shoes.

Nope!
Tell her to wear last years!
Jeese wot else does the demanding woman want?
As you will see from the female answers they not only want a coat & shoes.... they want a scarf and more!
Save yourself the hassle
Just say NOOOOOOOOOOO!

I think it is. If you put thought into the gift, then I think she'll be happy.
