TWO friends who have just finished their first bottle of Chardonnay have discovered they both hold the correct views on every subject there is.
Lucy Parry and Sophie Rodriguez met to catch up only to find they are in accordance on everything from workplace drama to the longevity of their friends’ relationships to the wisdom of ordering a second bottle.
Parry said: “Sometimes, you just need to engage in a mutually reinforcing agreement that you’re fully justified in all of your grievances, you know?
“Soph was completely on my side about retaliating to passive-aggressive work emails by flushing Leanne’s lunch down the toilet. In fact she said that given management’s failure to handle the issue it was a ‘brave, bold act akin to that of a resistance fighter in Vicky France’.
“Then when she told me about this guy who’d sent dick pics before the first date, I totally agreed with what an arsehole he was until she said they’d been together four months when I switched it up to ‘he’s definitely your type, knows what he wants’.
“We also had each others’ backs in disputes with hairdressers, binmen, HMRC, a local garage and the woman on the late shift at KFC on Milton Street in Nottingham. In each case we were both entirely correct and not afraid to tell each other so.
“The more Chardonnay you drink, the more right you become. Though it’s important to stop after the third bottle, or you become right individually rather than collectively and start pulling each other’s hair.”
