This reminds me of my handsome husband's fix-it technique of telling me to turn up the radio when I complain the car's making a new noise.
Please ask if I may employ his highly technical and accurate approach to irritating noises. Frankly (and don’t tell anyone) I already use the same technique. If the wife keeps nattering longer than is socially acceptable I flick the volume button on the steering wheel. One click ever few minutes so as not to make it too obvious to her female mind. Works every time. Before anyone flames me for being a chauvinist pig, I wasn’t the one doing the talking.
