Got a pack from the council today- whole load of glossy shite about keeping children safe on the road. Usually I just bin this rubbish but it was drawn to my attention that the fold out wall chart thingy advises me to use 'reigns' when out with my child.

WTF!

REIGNS! How can I physically do that? What does my daughter's safety on the road have to do with the rule of a monarch. A mere prelimary tentative google brings up instantly that the restraints by which a parent controls a small child are commonly called 'REINS'. Yes, like the things a horse wears and to which they bear a surprising resemblance. Funny that.

God knows how many people this thing passed through the hands of and unsurprisingly it was all put together by local government; just justifying my long held belief that they are all a bunch of lazy morons (yes I know this was probably put together by someone on work experience but someone must have signed it off!).
