Absolutely! She says loads of people are getting them now. It's one up from the alarmy things we used to have. She's got a TV monitor in the bedroom-Desmond's livid!-and another monitor in the kitchen . . .

Well you can't be too careful can you? All these urban foxes . . .

That's my point! And if we're happy to spy on our own babies, which we are, I don't know what Cleggie and that American bloke are whingeing on about. I don't care who's spying on me! Do you care?

Hardly! Safety first! Don't you think?

I should think we could put those monitors in all our kids' rooms. Not just the babies'.  Check what they're getting up to.

Hmm. They might object, Suze. Teens being teens.

Well-we could do it when they're at school! They'd never need to know! Pop a little camera in the bedside light-we've all seen it on the telly! I think we should. Seriously. Because God knows-we've got all the protections on their computers but I dread to think what Timmie's looking at on that screen of his. When he's supposed to be practising his saxophone.
