BG..Well I've got to agree with you in my childhood I lost count of the number things we did that would horrify me now if my children were to do that today.... I think personally thats it's a really pity that the children now will probably never experiences the risk we were allowed to be exposed to as children....and i think the world will be the poorer for it..

I used to walk to school when I was 6 years old by myself, or take the bus and nobody was worried about me. My folks just gave me a token and lunch money and it was a wrap.
Now you can't even let your kids out into your own backyard.
