One of the girls who works for me has invited me to her wedding next weekend. She’s a northsider, so I presume I’ll end up sitting next to a trainee beautician who has just discovered rosé. Anyway, I want to give a cash present that’s high enough to make it clear that I’m richer than the bride, but not so much that she comes looking for a pay rise. What’s the correct amount there? – Imelda, a detached house in Ovens, my high-flying husband is rarely at home.
Isn’t he lucky? I asked my posh cousin, who is an expert on these matters.
