And when I step around to have a look in the pram to see inside, I , like most people , expected to see the Winston Churchill face of a baby staring back at me. But no, there's no baby. Only a giant prawn tucked under the blanket with a little lace bonnet on its, well, I presume, head. It's shelled, of course. And when I turn to her, she scrunches her face up and says, Isn't she beautiful? And I go, She's a prawn. And her face scrunches up to the point of no return Aww, thank you, she says.

I mean, gravy is gravy, there's no need for mayonnaise.
