A Personal relationship with your milkman
Great start Mike, but your theory doesn’t seem to fully follow through ...
“Stupid woman! She and the poodle are both allergic to cow’s milk"
“People are thick though”
“Snooty lot”
“Two really nice woman … oh aye aye … tell jazzer not to waste his time!”
Okay, Mike and Brenda didn’t actually say any of this to their potential customers, but attitudes will out. Respect them from your core, and they will gift you mucho money.
Haven’t you heard of the middle class recession?
Erm, no Tony - I also haven’t.
I thought the recession didn’t care about your social status?
You frighten me sometimes Helen
After Pat’s decision to support Helen, Tony wades in to ‘reason’ with Helen.
It seemed like Tony was letting rip after an age of being duty bound to Pat’s opinion on ‘gender issues’ – though Helen is indeed her mother’s daughter (hurrah to that, I say!).
Whether you agree or disagree with Tony on his view that it wouldn’t be fair on the child to not have a dad, he had some classic points:
“Male role models … can’t you even call us men!”
“ It’s not all apple cheeks and miniature dungarees”[on John and how difficult kids can be sometimes]
“Your mum could have cheerfully thrown him out the window.”
Tony is absolutely right that he’ll end up having to support Helen regardless of his view on the matter. Emotional blackmail indeed.
And he’s also right about mentioning Helen becoming ill again. That’s really the issue which they’re avoiding – but is the crux, as far as I’m concerned.
I’d have no problems about Helen’s decision if she wasn’t actually Helen – emotionally unstable, controlling, unable to compromise … indeed frightening!
Can you imagine being told that you were born because:
“It’s about continuity – feeling a part of myself moving down the generations”
