I picked this up as the quote of the day by Ellen Goodman.
“Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for – in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.”
Now the job is to get people out of work, or who have been made redundant recently, (quite a lot in the UK at the moment) back into this strange ritual!

Ellen Goodman was an American journalist who quoted this in 1941 – strange that things don’t seem to have changed.
This made sense in a strange way.. nice one.
