My back wheel has developed a wobble. My colleague says his teenage son loves fiddling with bikes and would be happy to fix the broken spokes. I instinctively said I'd pay him for his time, thinking that encouraging entrepreneurship and financial independence in a young man was just the thing to do.
How 'waitman' was that assumption? No, no, I am told, his son must on no account be taught the sordid value of money. If he helps, it's because helping is just a nice thing to do. Payment doesn't enter into it.
