EXTRACT: Sieglinda Baddeley ,Sieglinda! All because mum likes opera. What I'd like to know is: how'd I get to be named after some Viking battle axe and you get to be named after something that lets you lift a car to change a flat tyre? Nothing makes sense anymore. Mum's changed, Jack. When she was married to Dad she used to be so...normal. Now you're here and Dad's gone and Mum's different (Pause).You know what she gave me for my birthday this year? A spanner. Can you believe it? A spanner.
