| 0:46.0 | to the next installment of Linda's stories. Dear Steve, my story today is a lovely one. When I met my husband, my mum was not very keen on him |
| 0:58.7 | and thought he was nowhere near good enough for her daughter. We courted for 18 months, |
| 1:04.4 | then he asked me to marry him. Whilst my dad quickly warmed up to the idea, my mum still had some reservations. |
