    This reads like an extract from The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime.

    A great book if you've not read it. Talks a bit about the tube as well, so I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

    Not read the book, but seen the play in the West End. Excellent, I thought.

    You really should read the book too - it's quite magnificent. I believe it won Book Of The Year whenever it was published, in fact.

    They're doing it wrong, P. That's all.

    Blame the parents, imo. Obviously they used their money to spoil their children rotten. And further, they then encouraged their children to spoil themselves with their own money. So naturally, now, they want to spoil their own kids too. But, of course, they don't really have enough money for it anymore because they spent it all spoiling themselves. So what you've ended up with is one kid (or even no kids) devouring the same time and resources as three or four used to.

    Apparently it's complicated

    I always said I would never have kids. All my nieces and nephews used to annoy the shut out of me, but when you have your own it’s different. Nothing better than seeing the smile on my little ones face when I go and pick him up from daycare
