Happy Father’s Day!

To all those dads, granddads, step-dads and dads to dogs, cats and goldfish, we wish you all a very happy Father’s Day! Being a Dad can be a tough job. All those hours ‘helping’ your kids build LEGO models when you could have been doing something more rewarding like putting up that shelf that’s been sitting in the spare bedroom for the last year. But no, you’ll make those sacrifices without complaint. Then of course there are the Dad Jokes. No Dad is complete without a large repertoire of terrible jokes that make everyone groan. I think there must be a secret dad school that all dads-to-be attend to learn this material.

Today my son said “Can I have a bookmark?” Which I thought was weird because my name’s Paul.

So how are you going to spend your special day? There are some great motor shows on over the weekend, or perhaps the kids are taking you out for a meal? The perfect chance for them to repay you for everything you’ve done for them over the years, and of course, a great chance for you to dredge up all those embarrassing stories about their childhood to bring up in front of their partners. It’s also another good opportunity to entertain and amuse with some more Dad Jokes, they may groan less than normal on Father’s Day.

Looking for a new plate to celebrate your dadness? Or maybe you’re shopping for a gift for your own dad? Check out all these plates that would make a fantastic and unique present for any dad…

We’ve got DAD plates such as 7 DAD, 16 DAD and DAD 44. PA plates, for example 400 PA, 86 PA or 91 PA. You could go for a DADDY plate, perhaps DAD 10Y or DAD 95Y? If you often tease you dad about his age, well he’s always older than you isn’t he! Then how about being naughty and getting him an OAP plate? If you think he’ll see the funny side, then we’ve got plenty to choose from such as B1 OAP, B20 OAP and EA04 OAP. Prices start at just £199 for these.
