Mustn't grumble

Next time I want to do a grumbly old lady about government regulations I shall remember this:

Life is much too drab nowadays. No one possesses the capacity for enjoying simple pleasures – they seem much too docile: too wrapped up in forms & encompassed by government restrictions. It’s time there was a revolution!

and ponder whether that is the kind of company I want to keep.
