He told me it was about as much use to him as an ashtray on a motorbike. If it had just been a shirt and tie that didn't fit, that would of been fine; what it was, was a scroll of his family tree that went right back to the 1700's and it had taken me a year and a huge amount of effort to research and get professionally mapped out.
I love my dad most of the time, but he can be a pompous old git sometimes. Our mum raised us never to be selfish but having an ultimately selfish dad gave us a lot of conflicting messages.
I know some people don't like surprise gifts but that's what they get from me and if anyone asks me what I want for Xmas/birthdays, I always ask them to surprise me. I really don't want to know what I'm getting.
