a present for Dad


For Dad's upcoming 74th birthday, what DO you get? He's got everything. My folks have just moved house, and have bought everything they need.

Something I had thought of actually having seen his existing one, bought by my mum donkeys ago, Dad said he needed a new conference/folio holder. (at 74? Yeah, I know, but amongst many other things he is my business manager, and still works as a consultant to the quantity surveying industry, plays golf, amateur dramatics, dinner parties, a social whirl like no other.)

Couldn't be faffed to schlep to Milton Keynes to have a look in, where, John Lewis? Quick scan online and found just what I wanted, from luggage/leather goods specialist www.goplaces.co.uk. Arrived two days later.

Perfect. I quite want one! And it has retractable handles so it doubles up as thin briefcase. Perfect again.
