00:00Of course I would, without a shadow of a doubt, yeah.
00:04If they had nowhere else to go, my kids can come to me.
00:07We don't... Yeah, they can come to me any time in the future

00:36It's almost like coming back round full circle to the old idea,
00:40you know, in the olden times,
00:43of the whole family lived together in a large Edwardian or Victorian house.
00:47Well, it's like an extended household, isn't it?
00:50It's far more prevalent in other cultures
00:52and that's why they've got more expendable income,
00:55because they all live together and split the bills
00:57and there's quite a lot to be said for that model, in my opinion.
