It's got me thinking about other things my parents use to let me do, my dad was a Irish navvy who work the roads never claimed the dole and made sure the bills were paid and what was left over went in the pub, where us kids use to pop in when he was nice and merry and get 10 bob note off to spend on sweets. My mum use to work part time when I was ten in the evenings and leave me to look after the little ones for 3 hours in the evening, and the neighbours were told to keep a eye out for us, and I did that for four years and I did it for other neighbours and there was never any problems, but then in those days we knew no difference, and by the way I had irish dancing lessons and later ballroom dance class, so I did not have a deprave childhood.
