Don’t Tell Dad is the latest hot place in North London. Half bakery, half restaurant. Punters queue for three hours at weekends for the fancy croissants; the kitchen doles out crab tarts and duck cassoulet and has already won rave reviews. When I visited recently,I glanced at the tables around me and realised that every single person had ordered the same thing to start: a crumpet. And not just any crumpet.

Firstly, is your dog named after a Scottish river? Around a year ago, when I was considering getting a puppy, a nice lady called Gail Garbutt sent me her book Spot On: Good Names For Dogs. It lists hundreds of options, in various categories, and my favourite of all was the suggestion that you call your dog Oykel, Brora or Lossie. Picking one of these would definitely make you (and your dog) a bit privileged.
