Lizzie -I don't do TV with the exception of some sport which I go to the pub to watch - I don't have a TV, and never had had one. I believe it undermines family life. Do you have a TV?

I am not saying it doesn't happen. What I am saying is that that the idea that city streets are full of young people having drunken sex with drunken strangers because their mothers have gone to work is a fatuous link and you have no evidence whatsoever to show the two go together other than your own fertile imagination.

I went out for a meal on Saturday night. The restaurant was full of couples and friends dining together. I was in a pub the other Sunday lunchtime and it was full of families dining together, including my own.

Would you like to guess which was France and which was England?

It is not a case of undermining you. It is a case of asking you to comment on things you actually know and experience yourself or can produce evidence for. Not second-hand stuff that you have seen in the Daily Mail or You Tube.
