People referring to their boyfriend / girlfriend etc as "my partner" - what? Do you run a business with them ya walloper?

Maybe my age, but it right gets on my tits.......................

When I hear that phrase I always think that they are telling me they are in a gay relationship or run a lawyers firm.

My youngest daughter, 4 at the time, clocked a no right turn sign once and asked me why there was a "No Boomerangs sign" on the road. Took until the next time I saw one and she pointed to it again for me to realise what she was on about.
