Stand Back!

Had daughter's daughter for a "sleepover". It all went reasonably well: took her on the train to Dawlish Warren (which never fails to live up to it's stereotype) as there is a child friendly pub there. She ate nuggets and ice cream with goo in it.
Today, we went to the supermarket with her, where she completely ignored me when I asked her to stop behaving like an ass. This eventually led her to say something so gross (not swearing) that I wonder about her and who she mixes with. Plus a huge tantrum. She couldnt bring herself to say sorry, so M extracted a written apology (which I am keeping for future use against the little madam).
Later with fences mended, she decided that "stand back!" was worth listening to me for









as 4965 and 5043 came storming past.

Gross language is a sign of the times I'm afraid. Makes me cringe when I hear 6 & 7 year olds using the F word.
To me it is a sign of poor education standards - they are not being taught to express themselves without resorting to swearing. From what I see it is a fault of the home environment - TV, computer games, and in many cases the parents use of same language, or am I just getting old?
PS love the pictures of the steam train
