Jason's mid-life crisis started one Sunday morning in B&Q when he spotted a tub of boat varnish.
'I will never own a boat,' he thought to himself.
Jason has never wanted to own a boat. But now, not owning one is all he can think about.'

'Sally has tried lots of things to make herself feel younger: running, glamping, Pilates, adult colouring books, a 'mummy make-over,' Bikram planking, Platonic irrigation and having an inappropriate relationship with a rangy twenty-something intern called Zeb, who has three beards and a Lego earring.
Sally has given up and is now thinking of joining the National Trust.'
