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.)

Sigh.You know that glimmer of faith in the rest of humanity that exists in everyone, which lasts until you meet someone that causes you to think... "Why the hell do you even exist?".
Imagine meeting someone who, on his one day of access to see his four year-old daughter, takes her on the train to London (skipping the fare, obviously) to meet some friends, drink himself stupid and take enough drugs to render him totally incapable of speech, let alone care for his child.
Then add the fact that he was hiding his stash of smack underneath the childs seat in her pushchair.
Then wonder why several members of the staff had to be restrained from killing the toerag when he decided that he was being harrassed by the police and tried to use her as a human shield in an attempt to leg it out of the station.
The poor child just sat there and didn't have a clue...
