Just for marjory, and any other fans of train-wreck needlework, I present a photograph of the purple bag. Just to make absolutely sure that the child in question learns to despise his mother's friends, I've added a jaunty purple hat to go with it.

Today, Mr Sainsbury had on special offer cartons of fruit juice which describe themselves as "mojito without the rum". I brought one home out of interest, where Frances and I judiciously, carefully and immediately added the rum back into it. Waiting in the fridge is "cosmopolitan without the vodka".

Life has teeth, and bites, don't feed it open-hand.
