Quick Update
17 August 2007
Have just returned from a very restful three weeks in Italy - so restful, I did not manage to blog! Hope to rectify that over the next couple of days, but in the meantime I am preparing for Radio 4's Any Questions - I am on the panel for this evening's broadcast (along with Bonnie Greer, Tim Montgomery and Lord Ramsbotham). If you would like to hear the discussion, the link to the BBC website is http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/anyquestions.shtml

Interesting thoughts, Matthew. I think people are beginning to feel in a dangerous world that even recreational pleasure need to be taken with others. There is usually comfort to be gained from a feeling of community and participation. Also the number of single households throughout Britain is increasing year on year and this, too, is feeding the desire to spend time with others, when so many spend non-working time generally alone.
