My husband likes to think of himself as a bit of an intellectual,
so I was rather surprised when he told us over dinner last night that he was watching a documentary on Sonny and Cher. “Oh, I remember them!” I said “ ‘I’ve got you, Babe!’, they were big in the seventies…but you’re pronouncing their name wrong…”
“That’s because the film was actually about Sunni and Shia Muslims, and the history of Islamic tensions in the Middle East” he said with distain, complete with eye roll.
Oh dear. Might take me a while to live that one down.
