DD (13) wants to go into our local city centre tomorrow with her friend.

DH says no way there's too many weirdos and she'll be abducted / raped/ murdered etc etc

It's two stops on the train and a short walk from the train station to the shopping centre.

She's done it with us many times.

She's very sensible and will be with her very sensible friend.

I think it's OK. DH says No.

Who is BU?

Your husband is being unreasonable.

I’m maybe too cautious. I would want to know which city 😂

colchester or York, go for it. Central London, I’d think twice.

I also got the tube to school, back in the day but that’s a bit different - different clientèle at that time. I didn’t go into Camden (as was fashionable then) til I was 14 or 15.

Yes, worse. Crimes of all kind have steadily dropped for decades. We always have rose coloured glasses when looking at the past, it's a mistake.
