When my kids were little we used to have to keep stopping for pees. In fact, when the Cumings family went the relatively short drive to Barnard Castle, they stopped with their lad for a pee and a play.
Hell, I'd need to stop for a pee and I'm not 4.
And the best advice is to take a break every couple of hours when you're driving.
Very risky to everyone else to drive all the way from London to Durham knowing you could transmit the disease if you had to stop for any reason.
It seemed very wrong that it was fine to go driving all over the country and then for a nice birthday outing to Barnard Castle, when people were dying alone because of the very strict policies around managing possible infection to others from people with covid.
It was a terrible example and then people thought, why should they rein in their lives , when he could behave however he liked with impunity.
If they were well enough to travel all that way, they were well enough to look after their kids for a few days.
If they were that unwell, then how much risk was there to other people with that long journey?
Now that you pitch up arguing his case, it all comes back...
