Earlier this week, realising she wouldn't be able to get time off work to watch her young daughter represent her new school at netball for the first time, a neighbour asked if my wife and I would attend the match on her behalf - which we did.

Later, as we discussed the experience, my wife and I decided that it would have been extremely unlikely that any of our parents would have taken the trouble to 'support' their offspring - certainly not in the numbers which seems to be de rigueur these days.

Another aspect which reflected change was the rather chilling realisation (as I took photographs for our neighbour) that, had I not been accompanied by my wife, an elderly man in that environment could expect be treated with an element of of suspicion which we don't believe existed during our own childhood.

How times have changed!
