Well then our Mel !!!, did you forget what my Dad told me !! -
forget the 10 commandments - there are only 2 !! -
"Be honest and be truthful" - I guess they just about cover everything else huh !!
And another of his famous comments regarding bringing up kids
"give em what they need, not neccessarily what they want" - put your own slant to that comment, but I know what he meant, and if they needed a clip round the lughole they got it, and if they needed something to help their education or broaden their social/life skills they got that too
There was a guy who told it from life experiences too - went through WW2, Dunkirk and all - POW for 3 yrs - then later went on to have 8 children, lost his wife, when the youngest (me) was 1 year old - brought us all up and carried on working full time too - how many so-called "new men" could handle that !!!
and for info for fellow readers - the song is "Deodata" by Les Crane, released in the 70's - please listen to the words
