Bah! Work today?
Currently sat on a train on my way to work (no change there then).

I HATE working Bank Holidays!

However, I'm still puzzled over something I overheard in Tesco yesterday;

(Story in reply)

Surely the worst parenting ever?

Parent of the Year
Popped into the local Tesco Express yesterday, 'twas about 8pm.

In the bread isle, when all of a sudden, this 'woman' barges past me with a pushchair and toddler in tow. I reckon the kids were probably aged 4 and 2 - anyhew -

Minding my own business, I nearly dropped my basket of healthy foodstuff (alright, two bottles of Italian white and enough kettle chips to sink a battleship) when I heard this woman shout at her child:

"Eeeerrr, Chelsey, what falvour POT NOODLE do you want for ya dinner?"

Only to be followed by

"What one do ya think Chesney wants?"

Nice! Only to be followed by her calling her offspring 'faaakkkin' c**ts' because one of them dared to make a noise while Mummy was buying her 20 B&H at the counter.

WTF - Obviously going for Parent of the year award.

Ahh
You appear to have uncovered an example of the lesser greased chavvus malicous. This is a particularly rare example as the offspring are actually being fed, not left to fend for themselves. As far as chavs goes, she's a pretty decent parent.

Heh, Ahh, chavs.
I live next to some of em. In all honesty most of em are ok, but some.... Bloody hell.

Family living next to mine have a bastard hellchild. Sometimes they have relations round. One such time I hear bastard hellchild (about 6) shouting obscenities at two of his young relations (I assume) about 4 or so. Then I hear his two relations screaming and one of the adults shouting "the little cunt's got a hammer!". He was stopped before anyone got hurt.

Given that I've only heard his parents shout at him, swear at him and such, I'm fairly certain I know where his wonderful social skills come from.....

I love the idea of a Bread Isle
A bit like Homer's Land of Chocolate
(though admittedly not as nice...)

I actually caught up on all the sleep I've not had over the weekend. It's improved things considerably (although the reasons for losing sleep were rather fun).
