I cant think of any food specific to us southerners really. Hubby comes from Sheffield so he knows a few northern specifics.

RossF wrote:Way to go, Ian, it is a great cause. There is nothing cooler than seeing a sit skier getting out there and enjoying the snow as much as we do. Every time I see someone skiing with one leg/on a sit ski etc it really makes you re evaluate your priorities and gives a moment to stop and be thankful for what you have got.

Your a good'n RossF

Hi Tony, mucky D's ok, Iron bru absolutely disgusting, should be kept north of the border. 8)

Irn Bru........fantastic stuff, lived on it and cadburys creme eggs while studying :lol:

I know where Bandits coming from. Being a skier you know of the dangers, the equipment you need to be safe.But there are parents that would not think of things like that. You try to do every-thing to educate, make your kids be responsible and safe. But there is no guarantee they will remember or do it. I remember my son wanting a motor bike, I was dead against it, did everything I could to stop him. I even gave him more money so that he could buy a decent car. He still did'nt listen, bought the bike but luckily after a few weeks decided himself it was not safe and changed it for a car. Being a parent is still one of the hardest jobs I have ever done :lol:

RossF wrote:bandit, IMO that is ridiculous. I believe strongly in holding people accountable if they are actually responsible but in this situation even had they been educated properly they might have done it. Old, educated people duck ropes too.

I know for sure that my mum often asks me not to do stuff, or explains why it may be dangerous but I do it anyways.. all about growing up. For sure I would not want my mum to be held accountable for my stupidity.

I am certain others will agree with me in this view, even some of you older dudes :wink: :twisted:

I am like your Mum RossF, I continually tell my son not to do this.......not to do that, but its his responsibility to take notice of what I say. Just recently I told him not to do something.....it was stupid and dangerous....he did it and now he is suffering the consequences. When he came down this week he asked me about it and all I could say was it was his own fault for not listening to good advice. Its all about life and growing up.
I am one of the older dudes :lol: and I never listened to my parents.

Ise I think thats one new years resolution I would definately keep to. :lol:
