Having 2 kids at University I get somewhat annoyed at the amount of paperwork and personal financial checking that I am subjected to each year, especially as it seems they can't work out that the answers are the same for both of them.<BR/><BR/>What I really look forward to is the time when Nanny specifies the precise size, sex and colour of each child to be born. At that point will we be allowed to raise a glass (of something judged nutritious I assume) to Aldous Huxley in recognition of his vision.<BR/><BR/>It does seem that Nanny has the midas touch in the sense that everything she tries to change delivers an expensive but unusable result.
