It’s way, way past midnight. My sister Vicki and I are standing on the landing outside her bathroom giggling uncontrollably, clutching the wall and each other for support.

“And then he said... he said...”

The sentence doesn’t stand a chance of getting completed; tears of laughter are rolling down our faces. Somehow we both make it safely to bed, more or less, probably with the help of our partners but maybe not. Who remembers? Who cares?

This is a pretty typical conclusion to most evenings my sister and I spend together since we were both little girls, way, way before ‘grown-up’ behaviour was A Thing and our annoying-behaviour wheels were oiled by white wine spritzers. But tonight’s a little bit different. Tonight, I’ve been hosting The Ultimate Liverpudlian Dinner Party at Vicki’s house.

Today’s story by Melissa Blease is in your inboxes and on our website now.
