Been here, look. See the bullet holes.

If we're not careful, our children will grow up with only a fraction of the psychological problems that have so enriched our own lives.

I'm glad to say my children's boredom levels, during a tour of the royal Prussian china collection hit such a high peak, it may have scared them for life. So may have suddenly discovering a colony of German nudists in the Tiergarten, in Berlin. "Walk quickly, look straight ahead, and remember your British."

Battle scars and bullet holes were more their thing. "Look, we've been to this bit playing World at War." What fun, memories.
