"A bloke" is bound to have sympathy with someone he believes is being picked on.


But DJ shouldn't feel picked upon. ANYONE who comes out with a strident tone couple with opinions such as those expressed here is going to get pulled-up


I agree we all entitled to our points of view pulling someone up on a comment is different from picking a fight for the sake of it. Some people may feel a little bullied and some like myself have a skin like a badger backside and can deal with it and give a fuck.

I am forever grateful that my divorced parents were very fair about shared custody, or as fair as you can be when you live on different continents, and never never bad-mouthed each other, although both had plenty of mud to throw if they'd chosen to. I think we could have grown up very differently without their self-restraint and maturity.

I agree unfortunately there are some spiteful mothers who don't allow access and as you say Loz can be very expensive to sort out. It a pity there is no law that I am a ware of where if feckless fathers don?t support there children but when they reach adult age they can claim back payments especially if the father moves on to a new relationship and has a new family and is now in a better financial position or if the father goes a broad as well.


This happen to a friend of mine her father left her mother when she was 2 years old now he lives a broad in a multi million mansion never supported his child at all and according to my friend her mother never moved away and she never denied access. Her mother did a great job she is a lovely person.

Ridgley - No expense will deliver equal (or almost equal) parenting if there's a spiteful Mother. The courts do not enforce shared parenting. It relies almost solely on the Mother's inclination. It really is a travesty.

This is a big issue in UK legal system, we're behind France and (say) Sweden so I hear.

There are spiteful fathers too..... In an ideal world parents put their personal feelings aside and do what is best for the children, sadly, some (mothers and fathers) struggle with this.


I believe David Cameron's commentS were directed at those fathers who choose to be absent, not the ones who have it forced upon them. Also they should apply to absent mothers too, although this is more of a rarity.

    • I was just in Japan and yes can confirm it's a lot cheaper than here. The flight was pricy, as was some of the accommodation. However, once there everything else was dirt cheap. We had some really nice meals at £5-6 for a main, though you can obviously pay a lot more. Beer/wine/coffee were often around £2. Public transport was great value - £3.50 for a day pass on the Tokyo metro which is massive, albeit more if you want to use the overground lines. We didn't do much shopping but Uniqlo (obviously a Japanese chain) was around 40% cheaper than here, plus a bit more if you go tax free. It is I imagine a lot easier for the non-Japanese speaker than in the 1980s. I survived for two weeks with little more than "thank you" and "cheers". Most people we dealt with in shops/restaurants/hotels spoke some English, and signs/announcements/ticket machines often have English translations.
    • Another positive review for Simeon, friendly, prompt and professional.  
    • I don't blame him..I'd love to live in Lewes! Shame its so pricy tho.
    • As mentioned above, one needs to request TW specifically in writing to be witch to metered paying system, they will not do it automatically despite forcefully installed water meter. From our experience, we benefited a lot by switching, even with watering our small garden occasionally.
