    Yes, he loves it (stange man) but there are rules

    1. He will spend all your money

    2. However long he says he will be, double the amount of time, then add 3 hours for lunch break

    3. If you are in the car with him, and he says he will be just 10 minutes in 1 shop, take the keys off him so you can open the windows/get out, as he will be at least an hour and have gone into 3 shops. This only applies on the hottest day of the year, and if he had locked a dog in the car for an hour without the windows open and no water he would have been reported

    This is also followed by constant moaning about setting the car alarm off when I broke out of said car as I though I was going to melt

    Radish - sounds like experience talking... I expect you've been seen in your local town panting at closed windows causing small children to run away :p
