having spent yesterday at the maternity unit yesterday for scans with SWMBO yesterday, I' also inclined to agree.

One delightful young chav had her usual white trainers, tracky bottoms and boob tube top with belly hangng out, showing her belly piercing, along with lots of other facial piercings. Moaned about having to take out her belly piercing, moaned about having to switch her phone off, and moaned about not being able to smoke in the hospital.... And she was just turned 17...... innit

I didn't realise my niece had emigrated to your part of the world.

Midwife actually complained to Mandy that being a married, non-smoking, home-owning expectant mother claiming no benefits of any kind made her really dull on the forms. She was delighted to hear that there was some Down's Syndrome history, just to give her something to write about.

At the first antenatal class we went to there were about 50 people there, all bar about 6 younger than me. The following week was down to about 12.

When the nurse asked the class "what's the first thing a new parent should be on the lookout for" a young, very keen lad of about 15 shot his hand up and said "Paedophiles"....

I know it shouldn't be, but that's actually quite funny!

Mind, I know of someone who once left his 3 month old daughter on a bus. The driver noticed and quietly questioned "have you forgotten something?" as 'that someone' was getting off.

This was nearly 30 years ago. These days you'd have a full police investigation, newspaper headlines and social workers foaming at the mouth.

Don't worry, it still happens. You would be amazed (or possibly not) at the things left on buses.

My personal favourite is a wheelchair which someone once left on my bus. Granted, they did get on carrying it under thier arm as it was a non-access bus. The elderly lady who'd consented with very good nature to get out of the wheelchair (rather than bitch at me for having the "wrong" bus) managed to point it out to her (presumably) son before i'd driven off.

The item i most prefer people to leave is thier groceries. As these are deemed consumables, they are only kept in lost property untill the end of the day, rather than the normal 3 months, before the driver is entitled to claim them back. Consequently i have had some nice free dinners on occasion.

Children I can truly understand - wot with the lack of sleep for 8 nights on the trot - nice to 'accidentally' lose them IMO - but food? No chance.
