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.)

In one of the seedier suburbs of Newcastle(Upon-Tyne)......a 15 year old girl stabbed a 22 year old girl to death, the 15 year old is now in some form of lock-up and her 10 month old baby is in a foster home. The 3 year old daughter of the (now deceased) 22 year old is with its 19year old father and his parents.
Some damn fine parenting all round then really.
My parents are great, although i was born in Hong Kong and they often found themselves in public places sans-child if they took their eyes off me for a second, as some chinese family had decided to take me round the corner and attempt to take me home as i was blonde haired and blue eyed.
Length, i was never missing for more than a few minutes.
