HOW their dad was ever considered attractive by the opposite sex is beyond most people’s imaginations, it has emerged.
Even the most intelligent Britons are struggling to comprehend how the man they primarily know for binge-watching World War Two documentaries and complaining about the central heating could ever have seduced a woman.
Son Martin Bishop from Swansea said: “Maybe he paid his way into their affections? It’s the only plausible explanation I can think of, apart from them having a head injury.
“I doubt he wooed anyone with his Fat Face wardrobe, confidently ill-informed political opinions and refusing to do any housework. Unless there was zero competition back then and mum’s self-worth was at rock bottom.”
Daughter Lucy Parry said: “Obviously I don’t want to think about my dad flirting for my own mental wellbeing, but I’m morbidly curious about it too. It’s the same feeling you get when you’re rubbernecking a road accident, but potentially more mentally scarring.
“He wasn’t rich, he certainly wasn’t good-looking, he had no ambition and if his texts are anything to go by he didn’t win women over with his sweet nothings. His conquests are a mystery for the ages like the Mary Celeste or how they built Stonehenge.”
Dad Roy Hobbs said: “Two words: beer goggles.”
