W: Yes. Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?
M: Im sorry, Ive no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.
W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were a lot better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. Thats strange, isnt it? And they seemed to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.
M: Yes, I dont understand that at all.
W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?
M: I dont know. I think I probably give them two pounds a week.
W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?
M: Well, out of that they have to buy some small personal things. But I wouldnt expect them to save to buy their own socks for example.
W: Yes. By the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?
M: Yeah, they do.
