Well, therein lies the nub of it Pat. My wife gradually begins to feel a debt of loyalty to "John and Emma" and would, despite them being the most boring people on the planet, ( he inevitably talks about little but football and one concurrently becomes acquainted with the finest details of the benefits of her recent hysterectomy and how successful her daughter has become in the heady world of superdrug store management) by then find it hard to say anything which might give offence.
Best to just avoid the possibility really.
