Beauty, Pleasure, Freedom And Plenty Of Sleep: These Are The Hallmarks Of A Successful Idler's Break. Travel Should Not Be Hard Work.

Computers Tend To Separate Us From Each Other - Mum's On The Laptop, Dad's On The Ipad, Teenagers Are On Facebook, Toddlers Are On The Ds, And So On.

My Idea Of Childcare At Festivals Is To Sit At A Trestle Table With An Ale While The Kids Run Around And Make Up Their Own Games.

What Is Required As We Travel Towards Full Unemployment Is Not New Legislation But A Gradual Change Of Mental Attitude, A Shift In Values. As Our Taste For Idling Grows, We Will Refuse To Work For Old-fashioned Bosses Who Demand A Five-day, 40-hour, Nine-to-five Type Week, Or Worse.

There Are A Lot Of Little Tricks You Can Do To Inject A Bit More Time Into The Day. Most Important Is Limiting Yourself To A 40 Hour Week, Not Working 50 Hours Or 60 Or 70. It's Just Crazy. It's Actually Irresponsible To You And Irresponsible To Your Family And Friends. Why Should Your Employer's Profits Be More Important Than Your Own Family? You're Not Even Going To Get Any Of The Profits - All You Get Is Not Losing Your Job. It's A Very Negative System.
