Well Done Uk.

[Sqad]

Today Mrs sqad went to lunch with her badly dressed friend, who today was more appropriately dressed, and had a wonderful tale to tell.

In that restaurant came two UK families, each one with mother, father, each with two children aged 7 yrs and 8 yrs and one toddler in a push chair each............a total of six children and 4 adults.

The children were well behaved, no whingeing and all the children sat at the table throughout the meal with no running about.

A pleasure according to Mrs sqad...well done UK.

Tony, anybody who sounds like Dick Van Dyke just has to be polite now, don't they?

[boxtops]

They'd be drinking tea if they were British :-)

[tonyav]

Of course they do, stuey, don't have to be a chimney sweep though do they ?.

[stuey]

...and I bet you've never met a chimney-sweep who is stuck-up:)

[tonyav]

Can't say that I have, stuey, although I don't think I have seen a chimney sweep since I was a kid.

Brats behaving badly in public is all down to lazy parents who can't be @rsed to keep them in check

They're the parents you see walking around town with their kids sporting Greggs dummies in their mouths

[anneasquith]

LOL @ greggs dummies,

Sandy, true!

I'm all for well behaved children, and can't stand screaming naughty children in supermarkets, restaurants and in church. Often it is "modern parenting" claiming the little horrors "need to express themselves!" What tosh!

[gness]

Not just modern, Ann.....my sister...who is now a gran....brought her two up with no discipline as they would fulfill their true selves through free expression.....I had to ban them from my house before I freely expressed myself with the butter paddles....☺

I am curious about the friend. What constitutes 'badly dressed?'
