Home Truths P = Presenter C = Carol Thousand = Mike D = Dave A = Alison

P Hello and welcome to the programme. Today we're going to hear just what couples really

remember of each other. What drives you lot mad nigh your partner? Here's Ballad, talking near her husband, Mike.

C Well, in that location are a lot of arguments about

** television in our firm. He gets the remote control and he's always changing channels, and then I never see what 1 want to. All he wants to watch is football, football, football game. When I try to talk to him, he doesn't listen because he'south watching the TV. And... something else... he never remembers anything - birthdays, when nosotros're going out - nothing. I have to do it all. I decide \yhere nosotros're going on holiday, what car to purchase. He can't brand a decision to salvage his life.

P So there we have Carol's opinion. What does Mike say well-nigh her?

M When we're out in the car and she's driving, she doesn't change gears. She's talking nearly somebody or other, and not thinking about driving at all. I desire to shout at her 'Change gear now!' only I don't. When I want to spotter something on tv set, like... the news, she always wants to watch a soap or a film. And another affair. She's e'er on the phone. She spends hours talking to our girl, and practise you know where she lives? Just round the corner.

P But what do they think of their marriage? Here'southward Ballad.

C Well, 1 tin can't change him now, so I'll just accept to put up with him.

P And Mike?

Yard We've been married for twenty-5 years, and she's the merely ane for me!

P And at present we have another couple, Dave and Alison. Oh, and by the way, Dave's an electrician.

A What drives me absolutely mad is that he starts a job and never finishes it. At work he'south so professional person, just at habitation, if I want a lite in the bedroom changed, information technology takes him months. And he's so untidy. He just drops things on the floor. I keep saying that I don't desire to be his mother also every bit his wife. When we go out, he looks so scruffy, even, when I'm all dressed up. His clothes are so old-fashioned. He never throws annihilation away.

P Oh, dear. Now what does Dave have to say about Alison?

D Well, she's never ready on time. She always finds something to do that means we're always late, wherever we go. She's unremarkably doing her hair or her make-upward while I'thousand saying 'Come on love, it's time to go.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the car, she leaves the car keys in the most stupid places. But what is most annoying about Alison is that she's always right!

P And their final opinions about each other?

A He'southward great. He's proficient fun, and he'due south one in a million.

D See? Equally I said, she'southward ever correct!

P And so, in that location nosotros are. My thank you to Carol and Mike, and Dave and Alison.
