SID:
No and if you had to see this three times a day you wouldn't
want to. You been there with the RAF? Belgium?
JEREMY:
Oh no. I never get to go anywhere. I've just got a desk job
in Whitehall because of my asthma. It's ridiculous really but
it keeps my family happy. They've always been in the
armed forces and it sort of carries on the tradition.
SID:
Still, it must be more interesting then working here.
JEREMY:
No, no. I really envy you. Especially when it's quiet like this.
You must have lot's of time to think. I never get a moment

the afternoon, there's some kind of senior staff meeting so I
thought I'd just get on a bus and see where it took me.
SID:
And it took you here?
JEREMY:
Well eventually. I had a bit of a wander round first. Shops,
the park, just to enjoy being on my own.

SID:

think the worst kind of loneliness is when you're in a
crowded room of your colleagues, even family and not one
