Has anyone ever had a round robin Christmas letter from some distant cousin whose children haven't achieved an instrumental Grade 8 or a First at Oxbridge, who hasn't had a new superdooper kitchen/bathroom/conservatory, who's bought another old banger instead of a new soft top Mercedes, whose dog didn't win at Crufts or learn to bark Bach?
Of course it's only very distant cousins who think that my life will be made more joyful by knowing that they've acquired an American style stainless steel fridge or that their never-seen daughter's boyfriend recently had a trial for Aston Villa.
Why send these paeans of self-valediction to people not seen for 30 or more years - unless of course, they remember that the recipient has always had a cruel snigger itching to escape?
Or is it only me?
