Not quite Colwyn.
A little story; When we first moved to Turkey and furnishing our house we wanted an item of furniture for the TV to sit on, after days of searching we could not agree, the next day I went out with a friend just going round the shops and found a little shop selling chestnut furniture, me and the friend sat in the shop drinking Turkish Tea and admiring the furniture made by his son from north Turkey. I spied some furniture "A MUST HAVE"! but being the good wife thought I would wait for Gordon and let him choose.
The following day we were out in the car, no where in particular but I managed to direct Gordon down the street where the furniture shop was, outside was the exact same furniture that I had chosen the day before. Gordon innocently said "Oh that looks nice I think we will park up" we went into the shop, looked at furniture and Gordon 'chose' the items placed outside, BINGO I got what I wanted and Gordon thought it was all down to him for spotting the shop and furniture.
My friend had even told the old chap in the shop to pretend never to have seen me yet to put these items in plane view the next day.
It took Gordon 2 years to learn that it was a set up!
