Once Wilson and Antony had finished re-enacting gangster movies on the giant globe, we sat on the prom for a spell while W outlined his plans for his microscope.
At first he wants to check all the towels at home for microbes, skin flakes, nematode eggs and antigens, to ensure our safety. This is just a rehearsal, however, as his eventual ambition is to start an international company offering a towel health-screening service.
'I haven't thought of a name for it yet,' he explained, 'but I need to get it up and running in time for World Towel Day on 25 May next year!'
I nodded non-committally, having heard many of Wilson's business plans before.
He interrupted my reverie, though, to clarify that 'Antigens haven't got anything to do with ants, you know!'
