QuoteI have teenage grandchildren.  They have sensible parents, but they can't police them 24/7.

Absolutely agree..
How daft these people are who say ' My child wouldn't do THAT'..  Wouldn't they..!!
 I saw Hattie ( granddaughter) smoking..
My daughter found a bottle of alcohol in Martha's ( granddaughter) room.. When asked about it she said it belonged to someone else and she was looking after it for them..
Marnie took it away from her and told her that the family will enjoy it over lunch on Sunday..
 We don't know what the children are up to 24/7..
 Nor did our parents know what we were up to.. all those years ago..

Nah it just cause nightmares. The bum burps are caused by breathing I think.

Very neighbourly. I took in a parcel for my young neighbours, they're away. 

I look like that on a good day......a very very good day

I just gave the lady next door 6 tomatoes from the greenhouse, she gave me a kiss on the cheek, very continental...

Did we have a series of bum burps?

That's real Walting!

We do lose a lot by leakage .
It is very hard to get a totally leak proof reservoir .
Dams themselves leak .
It's very difficult to contain water.
