ABSTRACT
Another new term: schools back, universities revving up, dons rolling up their sleeves and spitting on their hands or whatever they do.
So in media-land, features editors are looking glumly round the office for suckers to write the two hardy perennial articles of the season. These are How to Survive Freshers’ Week, and Coping with Empty Nest Syndrome. Work experience kids are dispatched to the photo library to dig out a picture of a girl in a strappy top shrieking, and a Depressed Mum with a gin bottle.
