Which one? I thought I held that distinction - guess I'll have to try harder.

Meh, I wasn't thinking of toddlers, I was thinking of children.
I still believe that they should be able to be instructed what to do by their parents and comply with it, but I bow to the weight of collective experience. That would explain what I see every time I go to the supermarket I suppose. |

@Flint, get the BBC planet earth series dvds, they really satisfy the need to teach kids about nature and animals in a non disney way. eg no, polar bears and leopard seals are not cuddly and cute. Warning: BBC is not afraid of gore so you should vett the films 1st. |
Lemme see here - as my kids got older and understood a little more of life, I had a favorite saying.
This family is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship and I'm the dick! |
I can see how parents might find it inconvenient having toylike cars that kids can't play with in the waiting room. But...it's a garage right? I don't know what it's like there, but garages really, really don't take kids into account. They're just not kid places to be. They're barely female places to be. Pretty much everywhere is designed with adult males in mind. In Sundae's defence, I would never anticipate waiting rooms in garages to be anything other than kid neutral, if not downright kid unfriendly.

Really? There's a big plastic playhouse, a TV, AND a woman's restroom where I get my Jeep fixed...

Here you're lucky to get a coffee vending machine, a few chairs and a tatty copy of Auto Trader. And that's in the big chains! In the independents you just go into the workshop and holler.

Business Op for you SG -set up a a family friendly garage. Although IIRC, places like Halfords were generally OK -safe and clean. ish

I've just spent my friday evening at the Kirkstall Labour branch social. Which is fine and good and it's nice to meet up with fellow party members outside of our myopic little branch....but Ed Milliband (secretary of state) was there and did a q&a session and it pissed me off. Christ, sometimes, I wouldn't vote for us.

:greenface I'm still actually pretty pissed and made another move in a more positive direction, and quite frankly, the one that has been supported during press meetings, but voted against in private. |
