Wife-swapping - It's so 1970s

Doesn't Sadie Frost know that wife-swapping is like an avocado bathroom suite? It just screams 1970s. Along with the Ford Cortina, prawn cocktails and Angel Delight, wife-swapping has reached a mythical status for what was essential a shit and tasteless idea. First of all, it probably didn't happen, much as the 1960s didn't really happen for most of the world.

Secondly, switching your partner for a frisky night of fun with a neighbour or friend can only, like a ride home in a Ford Cortina on a stomach full of prawn cocktail and Angel Delight, make your bile rise.

Or, in Sadie Frost's case, lead to divorce, a rift in the Primrose hill set and fighting with your nubile young buck.

So why do it in the first place? Well, you can only assume that people like Frost, who are only famous through marriage, don't want to go skinny dipping outside their glamorous gene pool. Or in the the words of Liz 'White Jeans' Hurley, they don't want to mix with 'civilians'. So they go looking in their social circle, which is surely going to make Sunday brunch in NW3 a tricky affair.

The lesson Sadie should take from this mess? Prawn cocktails may be edging their way back onto menus as a postmodern novelty, but it's going to take longer to rehabilitate wife-swapping. If you're bored and looking for a shag, don't involve your husband, your friends, the internet or the Sunday papers.
