Good, practical approach.
After nearly 50 years together, I'm thinking I should buy the house next door so that my wife can have a pristine house and I can have a 'comfortable' one... 🤣

Circa 1985 I told my wife that Dexy's Midnight Runners had all been killed when their van overturned on the M6.
She believed it for well over 2 decades, until she saw them (alive) on Jools Holland.
No idea why she didn't question why they'd all still be travelling in a van, after lots of big hits...

The Elizabeth line is just an outrage.

In a sea of embarrassing stupidity, the best bit is this -
Since 2010 all UK ISPs and mobile operators have provided parental controls for free.
Every parent has the ability to control internet access at the household or device level.
I wonder why the Gov didn't just promote this existing solution?
