Article I was reading because of the Blake Morrison book. A journalist was talking about different generations. He was describing when he went to a football match and there were lots of fathers on the touchline shouting at their sons going kick it and get it out. And they were almost over-zealous I their pride. Then he was remembering how his father wouldn’t have come if he was having a kickabout in the park. And then there was a moment when he was changing nappies and his father came round and said ‘I never once did that’ and he couldn’t work out whether his father was talking with pride or regret. Whether we have to find that middle ground between the over-zealous and the absent.
