.. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM Tarquin, Stop that at once. I have told you not to poke your gun in my ear when I am driving. If you don't behave yourself, I will get on to uncle George again. You know, he is very high up in the Government's education department and if you don't behave, I'll get him to make your homework harder. And you know how busy he is at present. The politicians have got it into their heads to reshuffle the civil service. Every time there's a new government, they come up with the wheeze. Uncle George says it's a nightmare! They all have to run around pretending to have ‘reviews' and making out they are cutting staff. It adds up to about 18 months' work before they can bury the whole thing and get back to normal. Why would you want to change something like the civil service anyway? It is a national institution and they have always worked in the same way – and as Giles always says, if it isn't broken, why mend it? Well, yes, I know there are quite a lot of people in the civil service. But Uncle George has said he will get you a job if Daddy doesn't get you into banking, Tarquin. I'm not sure you should do banking really, what with your maths homework. But then Giles says most of the bank isn't very good with numbers. Anyway, I certainly don't want you going into the armed forces. The way you are wafting that gun around, it really wouldn't be safe for you to bear arms. Yes, that is Buckingham Palace. No, don't wave your gun out the window, you know what happened when you did that at Knightsbridge barracks. Tarquin, no!
