VIEWPOINT


“I’ve been a golf widow for years; now all at once I’ve become a breathalyser wife.”


This was the comment made last weekend when a group oE wives got together in a huddle over an assortment o£ tomato juices, bitter lemons and coca-colas.


The scene was the attractive lounge o£ a country pub well out o£ range o£ the routes followed by public transport. The hotel is largely dependent for its continued prosperity on a car-owning clientele,


y/hile their respective- hus­ bands downed their pints and double whiskies at the bar the ladies “let their hair down.” Their words would have had a most sobering . effect on their spouses if they had been near enough to hear them.


For the women made it plain that, although they were “staying on the wagon” in order to chauf­ feur their husbands home, they were not taking on •this additional task and sacrificing their own more sophisticated tastes in drinks merely from a sense of wifely duty.


The “golf widow” confided that she had laid down firm conditions in return for driving her husband to and from the clubhouse at weekends and on his usual mid-week outing with business associates. As a result she will be re-stock­ ing her winter wardrobe and is congratulating her­ self on her own business acumen.


Other members of the group had the same idea. Said one; “He agreed to buy a new radiogram if I would stick to soft drinks and drive him home from the pub on Saturdays and Sundays.” ,

But she hasn’t yet had the heart to tell her husband that she has enrolled for a course of driving lessons and is beginning to acquire a taste for coca-colas.

The cost of a man’s beer or whisky is' going to rocket if it is followed by a “fur chaser”.


And the man who thinks he has squared his non-driv­ ing, non-drinking wife into allowing his pretty secre­ tary to chauffeur him on evening pub crawls is in for a shock. Wi fey’s per­ mission is going to cost him a mink coat at least.


breathalyser it is that in expecting their wives or girl friends to stay “on the wagon” in order to drive them home after a drink­ ing session the men are giving them an open sesame to “jump on the band wagon.”


Landlords too are morosely u counting the cost in fall­ ing bar receipts. The pun trade deathalyser pest aptly sums up their general opinion of the new status quo.
