That means we are having a more meaningful and memorable bonding time with one-sided yelling at Louis Welsh than gathering around a roast dinner.
And, actually, when I stop to think about it, that's how it goes in this house. We can't really be bothered with stuffing things up a chicken's cavity on a Sunday morning thus are far more likely to be in a family huddle over a pizza the previous evening.
We were doing it long before M&S told the middle classes it was a cool thing to do.
Does that make us trend setters?
If so - try these on for size:
Dust is the new housework
Flats are the new heels
Twitter is the new meaningful conversation
Aldi/Lidl is the new M&S/Waitrose
Trampoline in the garden is the new going to the gym
DIY is the new paying for it
Early nights are the new rock and roll
Putting on a jumper is the new turning the heating up
Portfolio career is the new smashing the glass ceiling
Sofa surfing brothers
