Overheard secretsWhen I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

Just last monthI heard a group of old ladies chatting in the hotel lounge where I work. One of them, who is rather deaf, talks very loudly, as is often the case. I was half earwigging, when I heard the loud old lady say, as sincere as you like:
"You know what, my daughter thinks she's going to put me in one of those homes. No chance. What she doesn't know is one night I'm going to go to bed with a litre of brandy and a bottle of sleeping pills".

really?Didn't think old ladies ever used the metric system... (My Mum refuses point blank.)

She may have said "bottle" - it matters not.
Good point though

I just logged in to question the old biddies use of 'liter'.
