Whopping tales

It's a wonder that more men aren't beating down Norland's doors if it's true what the latest issue of 'dad's mag' FQ says. In an article titled 'Manny State', the magazine declares, 'Mannies - male nannies - are now more popular among parents than ever before and it could earn you a whopping 80,000 a year!' However, the rest of the article is about setting up in business as a registered childminder and quotes more modest earnings of 40 a day per child or a 35,000 annual 'turnover' of one husband-and-wife team. Anybody seen the chap quitting his job as CEO to become a nanny, who is really a childminder - or was that, as the media usually mistakes them, an au pair?
