"As I was just saying to my wife the other day, sat in First, " Darling, we really should take the boat out more often". Not quite sure who the suckers are, but it ain't me pal!"
To which the good lady replied: "It's 48 degrees celcius outside you silly man! No more Champagne for you, or it's back to economy class where you belong!"
She then went on to hand her husband a copy of "English for Dummies" and pointed out that although "sat" is indeed the past tense of "sit", the correct use of the verb in this context would be the past continuous ie:"....sitting in first".
