Dum: we should move out and live in a bigger house in a nice area for less money. We pay a thousand pounds on council tax, let's spend that on new cars instead
Granny Dum: I'm not at all sure dear. This is a nice house even though it's not perfect. We can't blame anyone else for the plumbing leaks and the tobacco stains
Dum: It will be great! We won't have any neighbours we don't like, it will be bigger and more comfortable and cost less!
Granny Dum: well if you say so dear, but I'm not at all sure. It's pretty well 50:50
Three years later...
Granny Dum: Have we got that new house yet dear? When does the new car arrive?
Dum: I never said we'd have a new car. That was just an aspiration. We haven't got a new house, we're moving to a shed. It costs more and is a lot worse than this home. Our daughter will never speak to us again. There's no doctor or shop in the village but we can get an allotment.
Granny Dum: Oh dear, it was a bad decision then. Perhaps we should stay.
Dum: No, we leave in six days. We made a decision and we must stick to it.
