Lend Me Your Ear...

The 'bank of mum and dad' are slated to lend about £6.5 billion in 2017.  That's a rather large house.
...but I'm not sure why it's headline news, and newspapers appear to have a problem over what type of news this is - good, or bad.  Most resort to the 'shocking statistic' but don't actually reveal why its shocking.  A bit like the shocking 'there are literally billions of fish in the sea'.  OK, it's a great deal of fish, but loosen up, it's not that surprising is it?

Running news, and I set off intending to do a 13 miler yesterday, hit some sort of wall at 9, took a wrong turn and looked like I would do 16 or 17 only to be fortuitously picked up by my wife in the last mile or so as she went past.  Must try harder.
