I read this today and it made me laugh but it also reminded me of some village parents who gather around the school bus several times a day. They are so blinkered and self centred that they completely block the road with their cars and vans and stand around chatting. It is so irritating because there is plenty of room to park more considerately and maybe, just maybe, walk for a few metres with their little cherubs.
When I was five I walked over a mile to my school from one side of Harrogate town centre to the other, across three main roads (I don't think your mum really liked you - Ed). I learnt about danger and how to deal with it and got some exercise into the bargain. We were 'ard in them days!
