“Some advert for this or that” she answered not even looking at the bit of soaking paper.
“Oh! It’s a Fine! Fine, just fine, a 60 euros fine and that’s just fine!”
“Don’t worry about it, I’ll just pay it and that’s all, it won’t affect you in the least” she said whilst she gently took the little piece of paper from his hands and checked that the number plate was in fact the right one.
“It won’t affect me? Of course it won’t! Now I’ll just go down to the bingo centre and spend six thousand euros and no, don’t worry, it won’t affect you” he shouted as his veins protruded from his temples.
The following day Mrs Thomsons (read me) went to the town council to pay the 60 euros fine.

The bunch of flowers had only cost 8 euros but the pleasure it gave her to buy them was no way near the pleasure she’d get when she’d see him seeing the fine flowers!
What a wonderful day!
