I dunno Maz, I know you are younger than me but to be honest things in 'those days' were more acceptable, some of the things that my parents did to me as a youngster would require a call to social services and a front page of the sun...
My mum invented going on holiday and leaving small child to fend for themselves.....
They both used to send me to the pub across the road for their fags.....across a very very busy road too.....
so true... it was more acceptable... but i suppose it doesn't make it right...
was there even such a thing as social services in them days?!?
Scorge, sounds ouch!!!I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
If Social services existed they were too scared to come round where I lived....mucho rough...Quality is doing something right when no one is looking - Henry Ford

Afternoon Peeps :hello:
Hope everyone is ok today
Adding to the "things which seemed acceptable when you were a kid" I was always taken to the pub when I was a kid, used to go to the flat upstairs & then at the end of the evening used have to make sure both my (v.p!ssed) parents got home at the end of the night :eek::rotfl:

Yeah they're both horrible stories. Drowning I think is the worst death imaginable, growing up in Scarborough it was in the news fairly regularly.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
