Alice Douglas. Remember that name. If you ever see her in the street - you'll know her, she looks like a fat Afghan - please tell her I despise her. I loathe her not only for her nasty outpourings in the Home section of the Sunday Times (see earlier rant), but now I learn she has called her unfortunate offspring Hero and Tybalt. I'm not convinced that Shakesperean names should be de rigeur in certain leafy suburbs, but Hero and Tybalt??? Pity the poor girl... What a life she's going to have at Roedean. The only saving grace is that if she ever goes to the north, her name will be pronounced as ear'ole which will make her hate her mother. And as for Tybalt... why not call him Macbeth, or Banquo's ghost, and have done with it? In fact, I shall rename Alice in her Shakespearian mould.. Mistress Overdone.
