    Re: What has England come to ?

    I had to laugh at this on the BBC site. Invitations of the future maybe? -

    "If it is being argued that the contract is with the child, it is inconceivable that a five-year-old would be seen by a court as capable of creating legal relations and entering into a contract with a "no show" charge.

    It's amusing to imagine what a children's party invitation seeking to create a contract might say: "I, the 'first party', hereinafter referred to as the 'birthday boy', cordially invite you the 'second party', hereinafter referred to as 'my best friend', to the party of 'the first party'."

    Oh my GOD I'm getting so flustered by an article about a single instance of at most, 4 people being a bit silly in a country of 60 million people!

    What has this country come to? It's going to the dogs. It was better in the good old days etc.

    Must have been a slow news day, after all, it's not as if anything else going on in the world...

    Or maybe that was it, a bit of light relief

    bad news sells papers and keeps a forum talking about it ... just let it go ..or you will become them ..
    What does it matter now if men believe or no?
    What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,
    To murmur in pity that my words were true
    (Cassandra, in Agamemnon by Aeschylus)

    To see the wizard one must look behind the curtain ....
