Not that I'm bothered.
Well it may have seemed like that and it was probably like that but not necessarily through choice.
Every friend/mate/punter/ neighbour she objected to or seemed to fall out with. Never had a good word
to say about anyone.
I was quite liberal with money , she always thought people took advantage of me where as I thought
apart from being sociable it was "good business".
She loved to create a scene in our younger days when out in public so eventually I stopped going out
in large groups or even in a 4 because it was embarrassing .
Even last year she stormed out the pub when she tried to listen in on a conversation I was having and got
totally the wrong end of the stick. I finished up in Derby police station till 1 the next day because of that.
You may be right in your assessment and obviously two sides to every story but I certainly missed going
on so many jollies/holidays with other couples because of Queen Mary.
I remember one funny story when we were at Cartmel races for a couple of days with a group . Queen Mary
wanted an early night and I am a lightweight drinker so we went to bed and I was wrecked.
She started messing around and to be honest I was struggling and she said " Tell me what turns you on ? "
My immediate response was " A pair of aces " . I started laughing and she just didn't get it , literally .
That was a long time ago !!
