An adventure, I'd call it.<br /><br />I once lost myself for 10 minutes... on Tower Hill in the heart of London.

Perhaps you need to fit an electronic homing device to your vehicle.

I nearly did lose my son, but not though willful neglect.<br /><br />We were on the Granada Studios tour when he was about three and he made a bolt for it under the turnstiles. The problem was that they only turned one way and I couldn't chase after him directly and by the time I got out he'd sprinted across a main road and a car park before I could catch up with him.Shooting Parrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503757845024102476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-58114234418547765492012-06-12T13:51:26.612+01:002012-06-12T13:51:26.612+01:00SHOOTING PARROTS I know you're kidding and pre...SHOOTING PARROTS I know you're kidding and previous posts suggest you were a more fawning and protective father than me.<br />RHYMES WITH TIPPLE Oh dear Mr Brague - you have got a low opinion of me!

I was never a prime minister with aides and security personnel in tow but in spite of that, before our children were teenagers, they were never, ever forgotten about or left accidentally in what could have been dangerous situations. No wonder Cameron tried to suppress this news item - hoping it would just go away. I bet the 30 who rang in were all supporters of the Monster Raving Conservative Party - making allowances for the Camerons' neglect.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-55741022636399064882012-06-12T00:19:34.506+01:002012-06-12T00:19:34.506+01:00I think you are being a little unfair YP......humm...I think you are being a little unfair YP......hummmmm perhaps playful rather than overtly unfair....<br />I listened to LBC talk radio today and 30 or so people rang in with similar stories ( most a lot worse)John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.com
