Title: Mother in laws from hell

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8607132/Mother-in-laws-email-about-future-brides-uncouth-behaviour-goes-viral.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8607132/Mother-in-laws-email-about-future-brides-uncouth-behaviour-goes-viral.html)

This story is all over the papers about the hideous prospective MIL and the disappointment she felt with her son in laws choice of bride.

Loving the fact that this email has somehow 'gone viral'  ...wonder who did that then  whistle:

The mother in law apparently wrote .........

“It is high time someone explained to you about good manners. Yours are obvious by their absence and I feel sorry for you.

It went on: “Your behaviour on your visit to Devon during April was staggering in its uncouthness and lack of grace.”

It added: “If you want to be accepted by the wider Bourne family I suggest you take some guidance from experts with utmost haste. There are plenty of finishing schools around. You would be an ideal candidate for the Ladette to Lady television series. Please, for your own good, for Freddie’s sake and for your future involvement with the Bourne family, do something as soon as possible.”

The email said Miss Withers’ behaviour had been so rude that it had left the family dog, Bomber, traumatized, depressed and anxious.

Listing a litany of alleged transgressions, the email accused Miss Withers of staying in bed too late; complaining about the food; cracking inappropriate jokes about the family and failing to send a card thanking them for their hospitality.

It also said: "You regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why...It is vulgar.”

In addition Mrs Bourne apparently criticised her future daughter-in-law’s plans for the wedding and said her aspirations were outstripping her finances.

The email said: “No one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity style behaviour.

“I understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that...)

“If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes.”

And in a stinging pay-off she apparently remarked: “One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be patting herself on the back for having caught a most eligible young man. I pity Freddie.”

What else do you do when you find your boy is hooked up with a slag?

For the mother, this has to be a perfect result. The relationship must be doomed now.

The build up for My Big Fat Toffy Nosed Wedding continues at pace. The  father of the possible bride to be was in the paper this morning ....

Quote
Mr Withers pulled no punches in defending his daughter Heidi, describing how he met Mrs Bourne and her husband, Edward, for a pub dinner last year.

‘Edward was a jovial chap but Carolyn was quite snotty. She had a look about her which made us think she thought she was better than us,’ said the 64-year-old.

‘Ever since that meeting, we call her “Miss Fancy Pants”. I think she has her head stuck so far up her own arse she doesn’t know whether to speak or fart.’

This all sounds like a cunning plot to get the reception payed for by Hello! or reality TV.

Wish I had thought of that  sad32:
