I had to rewind the old live tv to check I was n't seeing things this late at night when I thought I saw the sight of a woman with child & baby amongst the throngs of people watching Berbatov driving away from Old Trafford in a flash motor . Yes , a woman with two children , one a babe in arms , at approx . 12.15 am ! !

Question: Why is the speaker so surprised to see this old woman with children at this hour of the night ?
Answer: Berbatov has passed an ordinance discouraging the birth of children and the speaker is surprisedThe town has been abandoned for years and the speaker only expected to see old people thereOld Trafford is notorious for having a small amount of children , as they are discouraged thereBecause it is rather late at night , too late for children to be awake and out of the house
