Tories pledge tax breaks for musical families.

[dipsydoodle]

A TORY government would use the tax and benefits system to reward families who sing together regularly or perform amusing skits.

Shadow chancellor George Osborne said too many retired naval captains were being forced to bring up six children by themselves because they cannot afford to employ a maverick nun with an acoustic guitar and a sewing machine.

Mr Osborne added: "We can use the tax system to fill Britain's large houses with bright-eyed, confident young women who can teach these children the wonders of close harmony singing.

"If she is particularly winsome then in 90% of cases we predict she will end up getting married to the naval captain and everything will be fantastic - as long as they are able to find a suitable escape route through the Bernese Oberland."
