What is wrong with this world that makes me even slightly nervous that I've let a 12YO and a 9YO go to the park at the end of our road on their own for an hour. Ok the 12YO isn't as savy as most kids his age but it's still something I don't think our parents would have thought twice about in the 60s or 70s.

If you look due west to where there is a bit of road shaped like a curser arrow you can see where there used to be a damn fine lido which every kid in the district used to go to, especially in that really hot summer when I would have been Jodies age.
