Apparently watching telly on a Saturday night is the new Sunday lunch. Or at least M&S say so and thats about as official as it gets in some circles.
That means we are having a more meaningful and memorable bonding time with one-sided yelling at Louis Welsh than gathering around a roast dinner.
And, actually, when I stop to think about it, that’s how it goes in this house. We can’t really be bothered with stuffing things up a chicken’s cavity on a Sunday morning thus are far more likely to be in a family huddle over a pizza the previous evening.
We were doing it long before M&S told the middle classes it was a cool thing to do.
Does that make us trend setters?
If so – try these on for size:
Dust is the new housework
Flats are the new heels
Twitter is the new meaningful conversation
Aldi/Lidl is the new M&S/Waitrose
Trampoline in the garden is the new going to the gym
DIY is the new paying for it
Early nights are the new rock and roll
Putting on a jumper is the new turning the heating up
Portfolio career is the new smashing the glass ceiling
Wearing trousers is the new waxing
Putting on specs is the new squinting
Sneaking off and hiding from the kids is the new educational play
