Just drove past a wide verge which had 3 tethered cobs, all looking very well, one flat bed truck, one travellers' caravan - proper gypsy style, not the chrome modern ones - all very tidy and neat looking

There was a small mongrelly dog tied on a long rope to the caravan and a toddler playing with it - all on the side of a very busy A road...... the child was contained by an electric fence - six strands of tape and lots of standard posts!!

Excellent plan to keep children in order, I felt :D

although maybe the fence wasn't actually on ...:( !!
 
hehe were did you see that i saw a load of them yesterday with electric fencing and was suprised to see the horses were rugged !
 
Will it catch on do you think could the major supermarkets provide a electric paddock for them all then ban them from the shop??

That way they wouldn't need all those parking spaces right next to the front door and they could be given over to the working person paying taxes to fund the kids who are in a hurry on their lunchbreak !!!!!

Don't worry I don't have any either I just pay for everyone else's which is why I refuse to buy them bl**dy sweets at Halloween as well!!!
 
Excellent idea. Electric fences for children, maybe we should float the idea somewhere like Mumsnet and see what they think.
 
its not as funny as you may think, my landlord has an autistic boy and he's a jolly little soul but a nightmare to look after, he's so agile and quick, take your eye off him for a minute and he's gone! so they have 2 strands of wire round the fence in the garden to try and contain him! doesnt alsways work tho! anyways social services found out about it and nearly took the young lad into care and treated the parents as if they are monsters! they suggested they put signs up with a big hand printed on with the words STOP! yeah right like thats gona work! they dote on him and love him to bits and just want to give him as much freedom as they can in the garden!
 
When I had my first baby my sister said to me "you can't just shut him in a stable you know" - really? He didn't seem to mind:D

On a not so light note, there was a family round here a few years ago who were known locally as the "Hennies" because they kept their 6 children in the chicken run :confused::(:eek: They grew up very very strange :(

At least they had a "pecking" order and knew their place :D
