Right, rant time. Can I just beg of all you lucky MNers who attend a P&T group and who have a nice group of friends around you just to have a look around you next time and if you spot a poor unfortunate person with a small child or two who is ABSOLUTELY friendless and alone and verging on tears, talking in a fake bright cheerful voice to her LO - to PLEASE at least smile at her? Hell, you could even strike up a conversation or even, gasp, introduce allow her to join in your conversation and intorduce her to some other people. No...it'd never happen
