“Oh come off it mum what would be the point?”

What do you mean son?
My mother said to me “ Why didn’t you speak to me about this before”
Well I slept with the president of the Lawn tennis Association year ago, I think he may have remembered!!
She said, “Oh no I can’t give you our tickets, if we can’t go, well we don’t go - it is just not done to give away final tickets.”
What! how could you do that?
Well she is so snotty, O.K. she may have married a bit of money, I don’t know but she feels she is above everybody else.
Well son “ I think I might have got you some tickets”
Oh I said, can my wife have them she would give her right arm to see a Wimbledon tennis final?

Do you know what she said mum?
So I said to my sister “ You mean to say that that you leave two empty seats rather than give them to your brother” I replied in astonishment. - “Well yes thats how it works in our circle!” responded my sister.
About 30 years back, I was speaking with my mother.
