Funnily enough that's how Mr Showbizguru and I long since solved the old problem of husband-and-wife shopping.
I retire to my favourite lunch-time pub with several broadsheet papers and she shops.
When she finally gets to the pub I'm sufficiently immunised to be able to feign interest in her purchases while not hearing a world that comes out of her mouth.
And she'll only stay for a couple of drinks which means I get driven home and
it's another perfect day of retail therapy for both parties.
