None taken Apricot. The thread is my way of prompting light-hearted debate on the matter of how trust has changed.

It is indeed sad Susan, a few decades ago, trusting others was indeed different.

TBH I don't think they even noticed I'd gone and I sort of thought the receptionist wouldn't rush off with them.
I have had people ask me to hold dog leads while they go into shops which I've been happy to do but I'd not trust anyone to hold my dogs while I was in a shop either.
Ah yes, pets too, who do we trust???

Anyway, well done SP......
I don't know Besso, good point.
I have to point out that there are cameras and security patrolling the indoor precinct.
The thread is not really about me, it is about how trust has changed, I was allowed to play in the lane near my house as a child, I NEVER allowed my boys to play in the street or at the back alley of our house.
