Taboos, interests, clock faces

In my family, we never talked about religion, politics, sex or money. But I discovered that, to get around those taboos, the trick was to insert the word ‘neighbour’ in every sentence.

 At school I was interested in maths, physics, biology, history, and even PE, at one time or another, but the interest was not reciprocated. So, I went into business.

 

Clock faces have gone the way of dog breeds. The classic lupine look is lost to the pug face.
