I was recently dismayed to learn the principle of the Golden Goose. Golden Geese lay golden eggs, and it’s the eggs that you really want. But if you want the eggs, you have to look after the goose. If you don’t feed Goose, Goosey corks it, no more eggs. Clearly, it’s one of those obvious things you always knew but never realized, and it applies to EVERY-bloomin’-thing! If you overload your washing machine, you’ll get more laundry done today, but it might break tomorrow. If you don’t service your car, you’ll save money – till it breaks down. If you don’t clean the fridge in the name of efficient cooking this evening, you’ll have to spend all Sunday clearing out the mould. And if you haven't got the metaphor yet, bear with me. All will become clear.
