Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Step forward...One day when I was home from boarding school my mum said "how would you feel if dad and I got divorced?"
I burst into tears (I was a sensitive teenager) and she said it was only an idea and not to worry because they wouldn't do it
two weeks later she said "I was in Ipswich the other day, I was going to pop in and see you at school"
"Oh really, why were you there?"
"I had to go and see a judge to sort out the divorce papers"
not quite the "step forwards all those whose parents are married ... not so fast bald old git" but close
