My mum used to say: "don't talk to strangers, mind how you cross the road and put your hood up if it rains."

Yes yes and yes - I just tell mine to hurry up and get to school lol

Oh yes, don't talk to any strangers, look both ways before you cross the road, be careful and I love you

Just with a lunch box.

Yeah, don't spend your dinner money on cigarettes....

No, a packed lunch

Words of love bless her

Yes she did, every single morning without fail she used to say, do not and I repeat do not talk to strangers, get into their cars or accept sweets or money off them, watch the main road at the bottom of the hill and make sure you look both ways before you cross it and for gods sake put your hoods up if it rains and don't walk in puddles or mud, be good at school and no giving the teachers cheek, then we got a big kiss off her and were sent on our way.

Na she basically told me not to dilly dally but go straight there
