Re: Our Nanny State Is At It Again!

Oh and the social workers would have us believe that this adult allowing me the evils of gambling was damaging me for life.
No…it did me no harm at all…in fact it gave me a better grasp of mental arithmetic….I could work out how much of a profit I would get from my sixpence with odds of 20/1.
Did it turn me into a gambler….? No…of course it didn’t.
I might have a flutter on a sweepstake in the Grand National….but that is about it.
