Hi Richard

One lady sticks in my mind. She was in Court (goodness knows how many years ago) for a Hearing re her divorce (which the husband was contesting). Her grounds boiled down to 'excessive sexual demands'!!!

The Judge was being kind to her and she said (in a very very Cornish accent) "You are some good to me, my ansum".
