Check trains storing at haymarket or portobello I work for Scotrail. As Tweedbank trains are DMU trains the vast majority of them will be stabled at Haymarket. All trains are checked for passengers before going to depots, that includes checking train toilets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Great she’s been found. I lost my daughter at a gala day when she was wee and I swear I might’ve shot myself if something had happened to her. She was standing next to me then she wasn’t. That feeling in my gut when I couldn’t find her for half an hour. She was 5.. She’d spotted my dad and ran over to him. I didn’t even know he was there. Bloody hell.

It isn’t with adults so why would it be with a much more vulnerable group such as children ? You have to regard that as a type of euphemism in a generation who grew up being slapped and belted by teachers and cops too, I was slapped by a cop as a 17 year old in a police office. Needing a good slap was a common everyday term. I don't have any kids but if I did, if I were the father of this girl say, no I wouldn't be slapping her. But that aside, in general child raising, I feel there's a detrimental for want of a better term over coddling in many ways. And again, you can take this from a non parent view. I see people treating kids like toddlers almost long after they're not toddlers anymore. They will let them do pretty much anything they want without even raising their voice or changing the tone, from an almost pleading tone. Acting up throwing tantrums etc. they try to plead with them to stop. Now I don't know about you, but if I had been raised like that I would have been a nightmare beyond belief, and i'm pretty confident a goodly number of those I grew up with would have been the same. And the thing is most of that generation grew up to be non violent, so what's driving the current knife and ned culture which didn't exist to the degree it became after I and others were growing up in that environment. It began with the following generation. Now there were violent neighbourhoods/ scemes, But not the more widespread general neddery I saw later. Now there can be multiple factors in that too I suppose, TV and cinema are massively different while computer games didn't exit beyond maybe pong. I believe TV and film can feed violence into a society and I didn't always believe that even when Mary Whitehouse was telling me it would happen. I was wrong, she was right. And the internet in general can most certainly feed all manner of mischievous and malevolent behaviour on a daily basis, I was a witness to what at the time was described by the British press as the worlds first internet rage attack. One guy in a chatroom I frequented tracked down another guy he had been feuding with for months, knocked on his door, when he opened it he was attacked with I think it was a baseball bat and maybe a machete, the attacker brought a mate. That was in London or the outskirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
