Introduction
Meet Granny … and what you’re in for
Chapter One: CHILDHOOD
The very basics
Chapter Two: HOME SWEET HOME
Chapter Three: EAT YOUR GREENS
We really are what we eat
Spilling the beans – was it really all home made back then?
Chapter Four: PLEASE MAY I GET DOWN?
Animals feed, humans dine. Which are you?
The evening meal – nervous breakdown anyone?
And you’re not getting down till you’re finished
And for desert: a serving of realism
Chapter Five: BECAUSE I SAY SO
The importance of discipline: at home
Crime and punishment. What to do when they cross the line
It stands to reason … or does it?
Chapter Six: RESPECTFULLY YOURS
Thinking of others: spending time with the Real People
The drinking culture, family and behaviour
How to bring back a little respect
Chapter Seven: DRESSING UP
You’re not going out dressed like that!
Sexy baby. Ummm, isn’t that exactly the problem …?
Mummy, I want to look just like everyone else
Chapter Eight: SCHOOL TIME
Oh, litigation’s what you (don’t) need
Solution 1:throwing out the rule book
Chapter Nine: ’TIS WISE TO BE THRIFTY
The curse of consumerism, and how to escape it
‘The price of everything – and the value of nothing’
Chapter Ten: … AND DON’T COME BACK TILL TEATIME
A train ride
A new kind of risk: the internet
Abductions and sexual assaults: the facts
Chapter Eleven: OH I DO LIKE TO BE BESIDE THE SEASIDE …
Family holidays
Searching for that missing ‘something’
Everything but the kitchen sink
But there’s a whole world out there!
Holiday clubs – love ’em or hate ’em?

The ups and downs of the modern world
Conclusion
