Things not getting very much better

Although I really loved John O'Farrell's previous stuff and think that his funnies for the Guardian (now sadly discontinued) were excellent, this one is a real disappointment. The hilarious travails of middle class life in London, schools, sports days, kids etc wrapped up in a series of rather hackneyed expositions about urban 4×4s and oneup(wo)manship really just don't cut it.

Unfortunately, just not very funny. Gave up. Moved on. No nuts contained.
