Last Saturday our very own ANTONIA JONES related a story on her Breakfast Show that was just so good that I couldn’t resist giving it another airing today.

It seems that an Italian woman is facing up to 6 years in jail for failing to do the housework!

Yes it’s all true. Her husband reported her to the police of “bad management of domestic affairs”.

Amazingly the police agreed that there was a case to answer and referred the matter to judicial authorities who have decided to send the matter to trial in October under Article 572 of the Italian penal code which seeks to “punish whosoever mistreats a person in their family or a person entrusted to them for reasons of education, care or custody”.  

If found guilty the 42-year-old wife could face between two and six years in prison.

Someone who religiously does her housework is Margaret Mills and today she told us all about Samuel Courtauld who established his renowned textile business in Essex, and of his palatial home Gosfield Hall.

See you again next week,
