Daphne, a look at the phonebook will show quite a few Grogans in Malta. The two involved in this case are both Maltese-born.

I was just joking about it Daphne.

[Daphne – All is forgiven.]

John F: It would be far more opportune to ask how the school children felt, including the two whose surname is presumably Grogan.

Wouldn’t it be opportune to ask if Mrs Grogan and Mr Debono are living together now so that means that the husband was right in the first place.

[Daphne – I’m really not that interested. The case was about his caveman behaviour, not whether he was correct in his suspicions. And I’m not surprised she ran off with a minibus driver if this is what she had to contend with at home.]

Of course it’s a Maltese trait. My parents did it every year, what about you?

[Daphne – Touchy touchy. I said ‘Maltese farce’ not Maltese trait. And you have to admit it’s hysterically funny. It is just typically ‘Mediterranean man’ to think his wife – probably cut off from all male contact except for the guy behind the cheese-counter – is having an affair with the minibus driver (maybe because she actually puts on something other than stretch pants to take the kids to the bus-stop.)]

Maltese farce? Are you implying that this is a wholly Maltese trait? I beg to differ.

[Daphne – Despite the surname, I suspect the individuals involved are Maltese, don’t you?]
