Working is survival dressed up as doing good.

That is where the stresses are - in those who do and those who don't.

The millionaires in charge don't work. They prance about.

Work is as relaxing for them as train spotting knowing they can always fall back on their piles.

Well, yes, that's all true. It makes me wonder how they perceived roles and payment.

The same is the case now. Robots on the way to do everything on earth.

They will have to link income to doing nothing. That's obvious - but we won't see it.

If it is any consolation to you that does at least sound rather painful.

Just slice up the Battenberg fairly.

I assume you are the mentioned dad? If so, bloody congratulations! If not, that's a pretty odd thing to share.

But Lady Nat, it's free cakes!

How far to Ilkley from Enfield?

I am a lifelong supporter of free cakes.
