When I was a kid back in the early 1960s, my mother had a friend whose son went round to a mate's to play after school. His mate's parents had a row. My mother's friend was in her kitchen when her son came in with his mate and his mate's father and asked if his mate's father could stop for a while while the dust settled.
She sat chatting to the father over cups of tea until her husband came home to the surreal experience of seeing his wife sitting in their kitchen with Jimmy Hill.
In those days Alexas hadn't been invented but if they had been, I am quite sure Jimmy would have got it working.
