I make my own for my kids, with flour, olive oil, salt, water - dough programme in the bread machine, roll it out and chuck on toppings. Much safer than bought stuff.

'Bring me the Godfather'...

Re the UK "moral brigade", well there's always going to be a problem when you've got 27 bishops/archbishops sitting in the legislature plus assorted other unelected religious dignitaries.

The churches got a posse together and hounded the councillors to refuse to go ahead with it.
Gettin the kids away from the tv and flippin playstation would be progressive imo and i'm forever being told what great opportunities there are for the kids cause everything Aussie's love the outdoors?????

I think their pretty good at sport.
They are good at holding sporting events also, have you noticed you don't have to pay for public transport when attending sports events.

The too hot can happen, so after school when they're hot and a bit wiped out, I let them watch a bit of ABC kids. After an hour, the weather's cooled, and they get pushed out. No tv at the weekends at all. Too wet is rare.
Kids will be kids wherever they are in the world, so you have to watch them and get them outside.
Yrs,
