A real test of friendship

Richard Beard and his mate Drew loved their annual camping holiday, walking by day, downing pints at night. Normal bloke stuff. Then Drew revealed he wanted to become Dru and, eventually, had a sex change

The first time I saw Dru in pearl earrings, I coughed and pretended nothing had changed. Then I made a big effort not to say what I was thinking - you are a 43-year-old man whose wife has just left you for another bloke, taking your daughter with her. You drink lunchtime pints of Smile's Old Tosser and you work in the engine room of a 7,000-tonne passenger ship. You are not a woman.
