Today my wife informed me that her parents want to ask me to be their
guarantor for the new flat they plan to move to in the autumn! Can
gaigins be guarantors? I suppose there's only one way to find out.

I'm honoured to find out I'm their first choice ahead of their local
friendly kenkaigiin, I suppose, but I wonder if I'll be called to
account if/when the father-in-law spends the rent money on the
pachinko or horses.
