To not want DS to go to the beach after school?

[newsparklylife]

DS finishes year 8 today at 1.15pm. Apparently ALL his friends are going to the beach and he wants to go with them. 1) we currently have a weather warning in place for severe rain and gale force winds 2) he has no idea how they are getting there and thinks he knows how they are getting home (I currently have no car so have arranged a lift for him at 1.15pm) 3) his mobile phone apparently doesn't work but there is no service anyway at the beach they want to go to and 4) he's such an argumentative little shite at the moment and has been so rude to me this morning I don't think he deserves to go.

It's already pouring with rain. Would you let him go?

Where on earth do you live that it's torrential rain and gales? Are you in U.K.? It's sunny and warm in London.

It's not as if there's anywhere else in the UK apart from London, is there? Oh, wait WOW! Look! If you turn and look round you there's a whole massive island attached to London! Who knew?

new I love how localised the weather is here. It is almost sunny here, and was at the time of your post but we can't be a million miles apart. Glad DS is back without a fight.

I've driven from home to town - max 2 miles and it's gine from 4 inches of snow to sunshine

And glourious sunshine to thick geeezing fog (looked a right narna in town in a tshirt when everyone else was wearing thick coats!!
