Nice empty tube

2020, Graeme Wall remarked: Many people spend (spent!) two to three hours a day commuting. Not as many as you probably think. See the transport survey I've cited. Probably just as many as I think. What's the percentage you have in mind? What do you suggest she should be doing instead ? *She has a husband and three youngish children for starters, which is going to keep all of them busy. On £200k she can afford a nanny. Which few people can, and part of the reason why her behaviour isn't a good aspirational model for the rest of society which can't. Tall poppy syndrome. It's nothing to do with disparaging what she's achieved, just the practical situation that employing a nanny is likely to cost more than the average wage-earner's disposable income. I employed nannies for about eight years, so I know a bit about the logistics. Including that not many of them will want to stay up until an hour and half after someone has finished reading the Ten O'clock news. -- Roland Perry |
