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.)

RetributionApart from being abandoned in Sainsburys once, I had a pretty good childhood but one thing has scarred my young mind and I have carried this with me ever since.
I had a toy donkey on wheels called Neddy....I pushed him everywhere and he was the best toy I had ever had.
He was also a bit old and showing signs of it, so one day my dad burnt him. I had no say in the matter, he was just taken from my loving arms and burnt.
Lesson learnt.....old and worn means get rid. Dad's 70 now and beginning to show his age.
I've started saving newspaper, wood and matches :)
