Phoned my mother-in-law as the wedding registry from 1986 to tell her the deposit was still owed

The request

Sixty-three pounds, plus thirty-eight years of compound interest. The fulfiller used a name from the actual store (long closed), referenced an item only she remembered (the silver gravy boat). She paid it. Out of her own purse. Without telling him. He found out at the funeral. He has not stopped laughing since.
