On the way to school, walking down Underhill Road, I saw a woman driving her car with a toddler on her lap. I didn't get to memorise the numberplate or make if car. I am shocked that someone would drive like that. The kid looked like he was having great fun 'driving' the car. I really hope the driver was stopped.
Shocking, though not uncommon I fear. Someone who lives very close to me regularly takes off at speed with 3 children in the car, none of whom are in child restraints (ages are approx. 8, 5 and 2). I've seen the youngest "helping" drive the car a few times... not sure how far they go, but it's irrelevant!
It is shocking in this day and age. Makes me wonder how I ever survived childhood. My dad did that with us all the time - sitting on his lap letting us drive. Not sure society has got it right yet though... Anybody else over the big 5 0 who remembers when being a kid was fun - without electronic aids. i grew up without TV, computers (Africa) - and just about everything we got up to would probably be illegal now (in a 'Elf n Safty way). But it was fun.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
