My mother was expecting me and my wife鈥檚 mother was pregnant with her and they met in the underground at Elephant and Castle Tube Station. My wife鈥檚 mother used to visit us and when she came when I was nearly 30 she brought Millie (her daughter) with her and we met for the first real time. Within 3 months we got married and had 3 daughters.

Later on our mothers didn鈥檛 get on so well and didn鈥檛 see much of each other.
