I know - I was talking about just this with a friend - but I think it cuts across gender with him - he's got even grumpier as he's got older.

I heard the In Our Time programme & really wanted to chloroform Melvyn Bragg (so aptly named). When he belligerently questioned the three patient female contributors about whether a silent, safe space was really as productive as writing in a pub, I almost crashed the car. Clearly a man who has never had kids shouting up the stairs, “What’s for dinner?” or “Can you give me a lift, mum?” as you’re deep in the writing flow.
