Alfie is a noisy, 4-year-old, boisterous, cocky lad who frequently drives his Mum crazy. (His dad goes to work - this is an old fashioned story with no hint of PC!) Mum wished Alfie had never seen the EDF advert because Alfie was regularly plugging his electric guitar into his Dad's amplifier and making a boomy sound that carried all over the house. Across the road was a wild area which was boggy in places. Alfie liked going there with Mum to take the doggy for its walks - he'd always come home a mess. Today Alfie was all grumpy - he'd broken something on his guitar and Mum's attempt to fix it turned out to be a hopeless bodge. "Come on Alfie - wait till Dad gets home and see if he can sort it out. It's time to feed your gerbil, Hoppy, with some poppy seeds. Alfie was heading back to his bedroom when he slipped on a toy car on the stairs and landed at the bottom with a whump. "Mommy - it hurts", he wailed. Within 15 minutes Alfie was enjoying the cartoon having forgotten all about his fall.
