Nanny State and Made to Measure

Peter is up in arms – who knew? – over Sarah’s use of centimetres over inches even though she was raised on the continent and it’s all she knows. A measure of distance which, he insists, are simply made up. For her part, Sarah tells us that if you’re going to employ a nanny, make sure it’s not an English one.Elsewhere, Sarah, admits she enjoys going to church, if only because it’s the one place where no one can hear her sing and the discovery that Peter can be found online portrayed as a housemaid and a lemming. He is neither.On our reading and watch list this week: ·      Micah Clarke - Arthur Conan Doyle·      About The Size Of It: The Common Sense Approach To Measuring Things – Warwick Cairns·      The Measure of All Things: The Seven-Year Odyssey and Hidden Error That Transformed the World – Ken Alder·      Don't listen to the whingers: London needs immigrants – Andrew NeatherPlease do get in touch, email: [email protected], you can leave a comment on Spotify or even send us a voice note on Whatsapp – on 07796 657512, start your message with the word ‘alas’.Presenters: Sarah Vine & Peter HitchensProducer: Philip WildingEditor: Chelsey MooreProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniExecutive Producer: Jamie EastA Daily Mail production.
