For those who don’t know ‘ **Gogglebox** ’ is a light-hearted TV series that films many groups of ordinary families / friends who are watching TV. Their (edited) conversations and reactions make up almost the entire program. (You only see snippets of the TV programs they are all viewing.) I find it very pleasant to watch, especially during lockdown. 🤓 Anyway my question is based on a note I made from a recent program. Somebody replied “ **How many cupboards has he got?!** ” But I can’t remember the conversation that led up to that. 😨 I know it made me laugh out loud 😆, so I’d be jolly grateful if anyone can remember what was said. (P.S. If you feel like making up such a conversation, feel free!) ---

MoonMoon, that’s it! 😍 Thank you a lot. 🕶 I realise it’s a sick subject, but as I’ve been stuck at home shielding for over 8 months, **any** humour comes as a great relief. Here’s a joke for y’all: - a wife looks in a mirror, then says to her husband “I feel old, fat and ugly. Pay me a compliment…” Her husband replies “Your eyesight is perfect!”. ---
