England riots

She could always call on her Uncle Scurra to help her... She's a sensible girl, Giraffe. If it looks like it's calming down tonight I would have thought she would be ok, and long as she's cautious. It might be an idea to give her "emergency" cab money just in case she ends up somewhere that looks a bit iffy.

[giraffe]

She should be with a group of friends. One of the girls has agreed to meet her at Euston and I have met the boy who has offered to put them up overnight and he seemed quiet and sensible.

[Bunnylump]

They are the worst ones... When would she be going again? You could always give her my address and phone number. I might not be here but one of my two will be if they are in a complete pickle. As you know I'm on the line from Euston, half an hour away.

They are the worst ones...

LOL - that sounds like the voice of experience - many a tale to tell I think


I've never been to the Albert Hall myself, so with K's talents and interests it would be a shame if she didn't get there when she has the chance. Sounds like there's plenty offers of emergency assistance here in the forum

[giraffe]

She's gone. Tried not to frighten the wits out of her by being paranoid parent, but have asked for a text when she's met up with her priends and when she gets to house after concert. Have warned her not to get her phone out in public (not that it's a posh one) to beware of people unzipping her bag etc. She's never caught a train on her own, so hopefully the common sense that is usually conspicuous by its absence will surface.

[giraffe]

Just had a text to say friend's mum has picked them up and the concert was amazing. (Where's the "phew!" smiley?)

[LAT]

Sounds like you made the right decision to let her go then!
Glad she had a good time.

[giraffe]

That's the problem though, you're 99% certain there won't be a problem , but the 1% doesn't bear thinking about. Didn't dare tell my Mum that she had gone, I'd never have heard the end of it!

[chazzie]

You can sleep well tonight! Glad K had a good time

[Wulfruna]

Sounds as if you gave her some very sensible advice, without going over the top. That is one of the advantages of today's communications - just asking for a text to say they've arrived, and then to say that they are ok afterwards is a very small request without sounding as if you are trying to check up on every move. Glad that it worked so well
