A couple were out doing some Christmas shopping

A couple were out doing some Christmas shopping together.

The shopping centre was packed, and as the wife emerged from a shoe and handbag shop, she was surprised to find that her husband was nowhere to be seen.

Irritated because they had a lot to do, she called his mobile to ask him where he was.

In a subdued voice he replied,

“Do you remember that jewellery store we went into a couple of years ago, where you fell in love with that beautiful diamond necklace that we couldn’t afford, and I promised that I would buy it for you one day?”

Barely able to contain her emotions and with tears already forming in her eyes, she said,

“Yes, of course I remember that shop.”

“Well, I’m in the pub next door to there.”
