OK, so the media hyped the story up (so what) that is what they do. He made a mistake and yep we all do that once in awhile. Personally when I read the story I laughed (nanny state and all) even felt sorry for the poor guy. Damn, the things my dad did when I was a kid ...geez! I think people get far too precious about the media. Most of us are fair and reasonable people and can see straight through all the sensationalism. Sometimes the best way to get a discussion going is take to an extreme. AND what's the bet when all is said and done the dad in question will be having a good laugh about it too! Thanks Jonny Atom and remember ti be kind to snails! Hi there Jonny Atom, just doing a dive-by , I promise I’m not towing anyone and if so, I shall keep to 8mph (promise).
