Do you really think that will stop a baby????

I find closing the living room door works a treat

Well I do have a tow chain and some concrete anchor points plus a couple of straight jackets and I thought I could superglue her pyjamas to the floor and of course I do have some 6" nails and a hammer, or do you think that's going over the top.

No Ken, that's more than enough for you and the missus!

No you can never be too careful Ken

Can I ask you something, did you need things like this when you were a baby ?

No because our parents new it was common sense not to leave a crawling child alone and if you did have for instance a loo call or to make a cupper you made sure they couldn't get into things

I find an elastic band tied to them works a treat and the kid loves it being dragged back to safety

Seriously though it's things like this that have removed common sense

oh lol,

well the gate is better than a cardboard box, blocking the way,

You say that Alan but it's just got more sophisticated and a little more humane from when I was a child my parents found a 6" nail through the foot and into the floor kept me out of harms way of course they had to make sure all my toys were within arms reach, and of course there was the draw back the carpet waring out in circles but they soon discovered they even that out a bit by moving the nail to a different place every so often.

I don't understand mate ! Your parents had a six inch nail in the floor ?

That is an easy one Ken. Get four grandsons all wanting to get their chocolate sticky fingers all over your models..

Never mind the stairs Ken put one on the model making door. Even my eldest son, 50 years and still a young nuisance, re-arranges the name plates and bits and pieces. Annoying thing is he thinks it is funny.

However I got my own back. When around at his house and all there were in the kitchen I rearranged all the nick nacks, they have loads, in the lounge in different positions. My daughter in law thought they had poltergeists. He actually rang me up to find if I had re-arranged his nick nacks. I fell about laughing but not had any problems since.
