Season 2

Episode 1

Season 2, episode 1Dear Joan and Jericha,My son has become engaged to a girl we feel is highly unsuitable. She has very large breasts that are always on display, and I know she wears thongs, as she left one rinsing in the en suite - I have no idea why as they only came for lunch. But everyone disappeared half way through, leaving me and the dog to finish dinner.I asked my husband where he had been - he said he thought he had heard a worrying thump upstairs so was checking on my son, Clifford, and his busty fiancé.My husband looked purple when he came down, sweaty as a pig and covered in stains. I just think this woman is bad news. How can I get my son to break it off. Margaret Sadler, from Harrogate

Season 2, episode 1Dear Joan and Jericha,After sex, my husband has taken to whacking my face with his penis, and I don't know how to tell him I don't like it. I'm 72.Brenda Sanderson, from Sherborne
