Oh, that's true. It was in the US that the Europeans left the baby in
the car!


I didn't know we could generalise about "europeans".


You can generalise about anything you want for a laugh.

Texas or Florida ?

I forget- I think it was NY.


Wasn't it the case of a Danish couple leaving their kid in a pram

outside of
a NYC restaurant while they dined inside...???

No, that's another story of Europeans leaving their kids unattended. No,
let's see if I can find it- ah, here it is:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3356009.stm

"Holidaymakers Yisroel Singer, 26, and his wife Goldie, 25, were
arrested last week after leaving their six-month-old daughter Rosie in
the car park of a shopping centre.

They had dashed inside to take another of their three young daughters,
who recently had a bladder infection, to the toilet."

I could see myself forgiving them for this one.



Aren't you glad you don't have kids, DFM...???


Are you prying for details Gregory?

(correct BTW)

Ealing Broadway has trains well after midnight from Paddington anyway,
not far short of an all night service.

Fly, and hire a car for any out of London trips you make that cannot be
done by public transport. Use public transport for going into London
and travelling around there.

I find late concerts often overrun the last train, a pain.

What's your station? They must be very late concerts. Most events in
London are timed just so people _can_ make the last transports home.


Albany Park. Sadlers Wells is good as they run a special bus to
Waterloo non stop. The worst are charity concerts, always run
about an hour late. There are later trains to Chislehurst, then
its fight for a taxi or a long walk, about 7 miles, you don't
want that after a night out!


You local authorities are not interested in creating a bus service for
these 7 miles, at least on weekends?

Night bus N21 runs from Trafalgar Square to Sidcup every 15 minutes up to 4
am - cut your walk down to not much more than a mile.

I think you'll find that, that far out of London, they tend to be run
by the party whose late leader famously thought that to use a bus
after the age of 30 was a sign of failure - and probably only put in
the age stipulation because someone told her not to alienate young
people any more than she already had.
