Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

I didn't know all that much about my dad's glory daysUntil I went out on the town with him and his mates a couple of years ago. In the late-60s, when my dad was but a teen, they all went camping in the woods. Miles from home, they suddenly realised they'd forgotten to bring any food.
Cue them sending my Dad - the youngest one there - back to their hometown to pick up some supplies. He hiked back to his parents' house to pick up some grub, and then...completely failed to return to his friends. He just stayed at home and ate delicious food in his nice warm house with his folks, while his mates froze and starved in the middle of some fairly menacing woodland.
Length? Apparently they were there for two nights before they realised he wasn't coming back.
