I was more annoyed at the father than the son. With the speed of the father replying I'm pretty certain the father asked his son to do it.... Great parenting that is..........
That's some great parenting there! Teach your child to take whatever they want and don't think about anyone but yourself. Nice. Can't educate people like that. You just have to hope for karma instead.

Thank goodness for that. Agree with the parenting bit.

And thanks for the result...I now get another half hour a day as I'm not constantly checking to find out the outcome.

Did the lad have any splinters in his backside?

If not...I must have missed him and got his father.

Why oh why do some parents demonstrate such poor behaviour? It doesn't take much to do the right thing.

No wonder we have the now generation.

It's really refreshing to meet some well behaved kids and good parents but , unfortunately, they seem to be declining in numbers. We appreciate them when we do find them.

Morning grumble now over!

The Grey Nomads next to us at Merimbula said to us when leaving our kids where great. I was um they where a bit noisey early in the morning and ran around like headless chooks. They said although you told them to be quiet most don't.

My kids are not angels I know it. When I was a kid things where different. God I am getting a old.

should have came back with -
"no worries mate, I'll be over in a tick to help you drink your beer - "You've got more than you know what to do with."

or, "yeah, and I didnt see you out there helping to cut it, so sod off.................."
