Of all of them - a great many more than four - I can think of two who have separate income streams via rented property, one who was a professional musician, one who used to run weekend discos and one who used to earn a bit of extra money selling perfume at Christmas. The vast majority have their hands more than full just keeping up with the demands of the job. Like you I do know doctors, though not as friends, who do private work alongside their salaried employment though that has always seemed a tad morally questionable to me.

After your performance this week you’re really in no position to lecture anyone about ‘childish habits’ and, despite your obsession, I’ve picked nothing up from Swale and was just ‘joshing’ about your anecdote, although seeing as, by your own admission, it related to just four teachers and three doctors it’s hardly representative is it?
It’s not childish to stand up for something you believe, it is however hypocritical to state that that you are not getting involved in an issue yet repeatedly reference it.
