    I would like to add neither of my children throw tantrums as I do not even attempt to bribe them. They now when we go to the supermarket we will try stuff if I think its good for them to try. They know there is no point trying. I should add that I do pay for things, unless it something like 1 grape that I have tried and it was horrible. The staff don't mind in the slightest.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    To be fair I'm biased, I work parttime on a checkout - it's when I get handed greasy bags of chicken bones to dispose of in my bin that I want to inflict harm.

    Mind, even that's not so skanky as holding your £20 note in your mouth before you hand it over. One day I've promised myself I'm going to lick their receipt and change before I hand it to them.

    Breeding? I am well educated, well to M.Sc. level and work in a fairly good job. Its a bit rude that people think they have the right to judge what others do. Lucky I life my life dictated by anyone else.

    I would not eat those cooked chicken things, yuk. More steroids and antibiotics than chicken. Actually if you have an infection and can't get to the doctor then battery chicken is maybe a good idea.

    I am so sorry if you did not understand my post, I wrote BREEDING,
    not education, one you can buy, and one you can't.

    Its not a good idea to spend life watching what other do rather than live your own life. Today I was driving and had to stop at some lights. The woman next to me was on her mobile phone and reading something at the same time. I was so annoyed that I forgot to pay attention myself and just (just) missed the car in front.

    Yeah you do get some thick people who have inherited money. Uni was full of them till they dropped out. Perhaps we talk cross purposes. I think it is totally acceptable to try food before you buy. I think it is not acceptable to put your values onto others. If someone wants to eat its not my place to judge. I do admit to wanting to shout at parents who have fat(not chubby FAT) kids and who have trolleys full of toxic food. Its like watching someone slow torture and murder. What chance does a child have when they get diet coke instead of water.

    "Diet coke", what enlightened Chavs (I think that's the word) you have in your area.
