(Picture: Daniel Hambury/@stellapicsltd)I don’t know which radio station Mollie King is on, to my shame, but last weekend she spoke to me. “I’ve read that couples are increasingly blending their surnames together,” Mollie boomed to someone who I think was called Producer Dave, or Radio Robbie (I wasn’t really listening), while we sat in traffic.
“A message from the King: by Royal decree, we must blend,” I said to my fiancee, who is great not just because she a) was driving b) is marrying me and c) is obviously the best person I know, but because she has a nice, normal surname: Learoyd. “Not while I’m driving,” she replied, not really listening either.
