You know in some films, usually Christmas ones, when a divorce occurs the father kneels down to his son, places his hands trustingly on his shoulders and says something along the lines of, 'Jimmy, me and your mum gave it our best shot, but we're not going to be around each other anymore. I love her very much but we've decided to walk separate paths. I hope you understand I don't hate mummy,'?
Well, it's a good job these films are not set in Leeds because one man had his divorce announced by hanging a banner from his house that read 'Ding dong the bitch has gone.'

'Ding dong the bitch has fucking gone, Jimmy, and I don't plan on ever seeing her ever again. Talk about ball and chain'!
It was the friend of 45-year-old Paul Crowther, who split up with his wife of six years Rebecca, 34, who prepared a makeshift celebratory sign on a white bedsheet and put it over his house to mark the occasion. But Paul didn't even attempt to take it down.
He told MailOnline: 'It was a friend of mine who put up the sign because he knows what I've gone through these last few years.
"I am going to keep it up now until it blows away."

Rebecca, who discovered the message on social media, told MailOnline: "I left my husband on the 5th July 2014 and initiated the divorce because I was no longer happy in the relationship.
"The divorce settlement has been finalised and I want to move forward with my life. I hope one day Paul can move on and feel less bitter."
Don't you just love the holidays!
