Families - bloody hell - I'm glad I never had one or was party to one of those ;) People have to remember 1) We were all children once and we all tried our best to behave. Its not easy for the children with all that energy, or the parents who try to continue to keep up the pretence of a normal life, whilst looking after them. 2) Lots of us will have to supervise children at some point, either as parents or grandparents. If you don't have children in your life at the moment, then its just not your time. But they are part of life and they are much nicer than many adults, who are often selfish tw*ts, without the same excuses. Give children a break, especially in London, they don't get a lot of time out of the house.
