Naughty table
Because I enjoy living dangerously, I thought it would be amusing to share a story in regard to Cove U16 a football team that I manage. The side play in Surrey Youth Premier and during the closed season there is a series of signing on days where you have to present your squad with photographs and ID plus some other information for the following season. I had another commitment and asked my wife, Tracie, to represent me. I told her it would be 5 mins in and out.
When she arrived it was a male dominated room of about 60 people and she was asked questions about what division are your side in, how are you looking for next season, do you agree with the new rules etc. That was bad enough, but then when she presented the photographs they were not cut to the right size and she was put on a 'naughty table' with scissors, glue and a load of other men. She was there for an hour. Good that after 21 years of marriage we still have give and take and I definitely took some text and verbal abuse later that evening!
