You’re a true gentleman. 😊

Now, fess up. Do you buy beer for the pregnant lady who approaches you outside the shop, afraid of being told off by the clerk or reported to child welfare if a neighbor sees her?

My 15 year old has been drinking on the sly. We only know this because he confessed to his older (teetotal) brother. He'd been sneaking neat sloe gin, no less "after a hard day at school" 🤣 He and his mate had also helped themselves to an admittedly brightly coloured can of Beavertown IPA from the understairs cupboard, at this stage we think they thought it was pop - the cans are designed to look like some artisan nonsense drink. Anyway. After the initial OMG we did.....nothing. Well, removed all our gin to the shed first, obvs 🤣 We've decided when he turns 16 he and his mates can drink whatever, under our roof, where we can mop up after them. It's going to happen, it's no big deal.

Can’t believe PC Dillon could be such a malevolent busybody!! 🤯Was he never a carefree, curious teenager! What has to happen to someone in their youth to develop such twisted ‘morals’!

You, sir, are a philanthropist!

Many thanks, Mr Gage, for reminding us what messy human life is like and the need to hang on to as much of it as possible and to give the nanny state the middle finger when we can.
