Last night SWMBO and I walked through the local council estate as a shaven headed hulk bid goodbye to a streaky blonde in a car. Streaky blonde gives it lots of welly and disappears out of sight with a great noise redolent of tearing calico and neglect. Lots of little boys (2 to 4 years old) playing in a gang are very impressed and run across, one earnestly called out to the hulk, "Daddy, what is it, a go cart?"
