Tired of the missus nagging about the dishes, the hoovering or the fact you’ve left cum-stains on the towels again? Usually we just glaze our eyes and go to fantasyland in our head, which usually involves Cheryl Cole, some lubricant and several bathroom towels to clean up the mess.
Retired WH Smith manager Keith Brown doesn’t have quite the same perverse fantasyland as us – which is probably just as well because he’s turned his into a reality.
Keith, of Selsdon in Surrey, has built a four-storey pirate-themed cave in his garden as a getaway from his wife and two daughters when they’re nagging.
“They can strip paint with their tongues from 20ft away,” the 63-year-old said. “If there is too much arguing, I just raise the drawbridge, sit in the Caribbean drinking hut and listen to music.”
Sounds awesome, Keith, we’ll see you there. We’ll bring our own towel.
