On this week’s episode, should we be worried about Keir Starmer’s digital IDs when, according to Sarah, we’re a slave to the digital idiom as it is. Not that Peter quite sees it like that. Nor do the pair see eye to eye on the raising of children and what staying at home means for the parents or baby. Voices were raised, thoughts were shared, it would be untrue to say compromises were met.Elsewhere, Peter doesn’t know what car he drives, its size he’s fairly sure of and that it can get him to the occasional funerals of his friends. Sarah told him to check the badge on the bonnet, which went well.On our reading, watch and listening list this week: · Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster – Helen Andrews· The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life – Arthur Firstenberg· Girl, 20 – Kingsley Amis· Flashman at the Charge - George MacDonald Fraser· Night Watch: A Discworld Novel – Terry Pratchett · Down with Skool!
