Post away and enjoy Nesa mate that is what it is here for.
Looking forward to reading your posts and probably fishing with you one day,

a bit off subject batt but spot on and although we may think its funny its not far off the mark

5150 AC you take your kids/grandkids ,what would happen if a group of 15 year olds wanted to say go to the hancock or the discovery museum alons without an adult ???
 
Bri, I\'d expect them to behave like anyone else and if they don\'t then I\'d expect the staff to deal with them - at which point they either behave or get thrown out. Same rules apply to them as anyone else. Wouldn\'t expect them to not be allowed in or anything like that though.

Alan - we did the Knights Tournament last Saturday at Belsay, one of my kids has ADHD and he can be a real handful at times but all three of them were pretty well behaved and really enjoyed the day, they\'re still talking about it now! It\'s saddening that we come back from trips out like that and I hear my kids telling others in the street about it, I know full well that those kids don\'t get taken anywhere.

We do the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens aswell as the ones in Newcastle, always popular with my three :-)
 
It wouldn\'t be a problem Bri. Neither are open after nine at night mate.
There are lots of shops that do not allow groups of children in without an adult because of theft. Never heard anyone ever complain about that.
If my 15 year old was coming back through a dodgy area after music lessons and it was after nine at night I think I would be picking them up in my car but maybe the courts thought more about his safety than his parents.

5150 is the drunken knight still falling off his horse. I know what you maen when your own talk to other kids about what they have been doing and they get funny looks. It is amazing when we are on the beach, how many people come down with kids and it is there first time there and they only live a few miles away. Another thing i do with the grandbairns and id di with own kids is if i am doing anything from overhauling an outboatrd to renovating a bit of furniture i let my lot help. Never told them to go away. It is great watching my three year old grandson using a hand drill to drill holes in a sheet of hardboard to re back a chest of draws, he is really good. And all my kids could handle my boat when ythey where ten. The looks my daughter got when balsting round Luce Bay at ten.

Batt22 you had a lucky escape in the jungle mind, bet you have never been on a golf course since, welcome to the board much safer this fishing lark
