A little boy with a large holdall was stopped by the local policeman.
"What are you doing with that big bag sonny? You can hardly carry it, can I look inside?"
"It's got all me favourite toys and books, that's all." the boy replied sullenly.
"And why is that?" asked the policeman.
"Because I'm running away from home, that's why."
"Ah, I see now. So, please tell me lad, why are you running away from your lovely home."
"Well," replied the young boy, "When I went along the landing to the bathroom last night, I heard Mummy and Daddy talking . I stopped to listen and heard Daddy saying he was going to pull out soon, and Mummy replied that she would be coming too. If they think they can push off and leave me with a £250,000 mortgage around my neck, they can think again."
