EVEN though I like all my grandchildren, the eldest being 20 and independent, I worry constantly about them. You have to these days.

Is it any wonder when you get the likes of a bus driver who could refuse Gemma Kelly to be safely taken home after her visit to Flamingo Land (April 14)?

My 14-year-old granddaughter visited Flamingo Land last week. There would have been hell to pay had it been her. Good on Flamingo Land, but I hope Janet does not let this rest. I and my family would not. It is disgusting.
