taxman Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Why do you insist on dragging out old threads ... have you got an old computer, or just being stupid? Maybe he's got some tat to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Macbeth Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think the kids in the first post will be grown up by now - the thread is nine years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (youngest was about 6, oldest 8 if that) Yes you are being a snob, parents of children of that age are required to look for work; its ok for you rich folk, but some parents need to earn a crust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Why is it that you have to get a cat licence but not a child licence? That's what I want to know!You have to have a cat license? What is the world coming to. The mice must have an effective lobby over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I took my son to school in the morning after a hearty breakfast, crappy awful weather today (I think we can all agree.) Went to the newsagent to buy him some tissues and had horrible thoughts as I waited to pay. A group small children (primary infant age) no coats on, buying up loads of chocolate, crisps and cheap fizzy pop all stood in front of me. They then made their own way to school munching as they walked in the drizzle unsupervised. (youngest was about 6, oldest 8 if that) awful thoughts crossing my mind included: 1. God how can the parents send them out without coats 2. Don't they get any breakfast? 3. I hope they get across the three busy roads ahead of them without getting killed. So am I being a snob by thinking these kids are being dragged up and not properly cared for? I'm sorry but that's the way I went to school in the fifties but without the crisps etc. I was the youngest and my parents were both working as were my sisters and brother. As for coats we had one single breasted jacket which was worn all through the year, no fancy hooded, padded, waterproof coats then AND I wasn't dragged up or not cared for, it was the times we lived in that determined our actions.
