  • Are you lot massively showing how young you are?

    Maybe, but I think you are too, or they're showing how much older they are than you.

    This is something that swung back and forth because of health and safety concerns (e.g. children choking on small plastic toys that fell out of the packet into their bowl). So you've placed yourself in the peak H&S panic period.

  • peak H&S panic period

    A pal of mine used to work in Sainsburys, in the fruit and veg section.
    during an international football event (Euros or World Cup), the lettuce was wrapped in a football print cellophane for (?)reasons(?).
    Someone complained to him "What if my son thinks it's a real football? He might eat it and choke"
    Years later I am still baffled by the concept of being worried your child might confuse FOOD for a FOOTBALL and try to eat the FOOTBALL and choke, because it is actually FOOD.
