This is a true tale - which is why I found it hilarious.
My wife's sister (who I don't really get on with) collects horse brasses and has them hanging round one of her fireplaces. Libby and I were browsing an Antique shop last Saturday and Libby bought her sister a lucky horse shoe to add to her collection.
Her sister came over for dinner this evening and had her thumb all bandaged.
It transpired she hit it with a hammer while hanging up the lucky horse shoe.
I cracked up when she told us.
