Internet! We was talking to doughnuts son last night about when dial up came out and played him the sound!

I said it was even worse when I was his age (13) I didn't have any internet and he doesn't know how lucky he is! Definitely a privilege to have what we have now.

Not worrying if they can afford food to feed their kids or to heat their homes. I'm in such a position now but that has not always been the case. It's a massive privileged place to be.

I didn't meant free although I was aware of that. I meant those countries where women have no access at all. No knickers, no sanitary products. When I read about period huts in India, I feel pretty damned privileged.

Supermarkets, shops and shipping - I would never in my life have tasted chicken or beef etc if I had to catch, kill, and process it myself. It's so cheap it's embarrassing really. My clothes couldn't be made for the price they are sold at if they weren't made in a foreign country and shipped halfway around the world - we all take that for granted. Remember the panic when the ship blocked the Panama canal last year - the world shat itself at the thought their stuff wouldn't just turn up in the next few days! We're very privileged in the UK, even if we're skint!

"Some don't think it's a privilege to have children x"

Wait till you get to my age, you then discover it's a privelidge to have grand children. The simple pleasure of their company combined with their innocence help to keep you sane in what's so often an insane world. I took my two grandsons to a park the other week on a Sunday where they met up with old pals. One of them said to our Jack, "Who's that man?" He replied, "That's my grandpa," Then one of them said, "Are you really Jack's grandpa?" I said, "Yes!" And the reply I got was, "Cor, you look pretty cool for a grandpa, my grandpa is old!" When I brought the kids back, and told the family, they creased laughing, and it kinda set me up for the week ahead secure in the knowledge that apparently I don't look like the average grandpa.
