A generally good line of argument, but undermined in classic Guardian-style by:
My mum gave us a £12,000 deposit, plus £2,000 to pay off my credit card, and my wife and I bought a house in a middle-class suburb of Newcastle for £150,000. Just after we moved in, my wife had a second baby and I got a job at a local magazine, working four days a week, with a day off for childcare. It was paid work, but I was earning under £20,000 a year. After considering my future, I decided I’d like more money in it. So I contacted a university lecturer about teaching, took their advice and enrolled on a Masters.

We arrived in Newcastle. My wife had a baby. She wanted to buy a house, but I was making £6,000 a year freelancing (three days a week; two days’ childcare) and writing a book, so we didn’t have enough.

Yeah really not convinced this guy was a victim of the credit crunch particularly, just generally a hapless decision-maker (and in a more privileged position than he seems to realise)? Did he mention in the 2010 article how was affected by it? Unfortunately the people he really needs to convince otherwise would not be at all swayed by what he's written.

she's written about etiquette and changing social mores since time immemorial -- her first book, "cookery in a bedsitter", is as old as i am
somewhere i have a copy of "whitehorn's social survival" (from 1968), which i remember thinking was funny and sensible back when i was a kid (tho i probably responded more to the mel calman cartoons than her writing)
