Losing your parents in a supermarket as a kid

Is the most terrifying thing in the world. NOTHING used to shit me up like that, and I mean the equivalent nowadays would be having a gun pointed to my head.

What is it about that moment when you turn round and realise you're on your own in those huge aisles and masses of trollies that used to turn you into a babbling wreck frantically running from stranger to stranger begging for help.

I can recall one time in ASDA down the marina I lost my family and I completely bawled it, those 5 or so minutes felt like they went on forever. I was still shaken up when I got to work.

Good to see you back!

As a kid my dad took me to London "to see the sights".

We were in a crowd waiting for something to happen (I didn't know what) when I realised that I couldnt see him, so in my inevitable panic I ran out into the road to look for him - straight into the path of the Household cavalry - which it turned out to be what the crawd was waiting for.........

luckily my dad grabbed me by the neck and hauled me back in, which prevented a potentially bad Horse / Kid collision.

My Sister and I spent many a good hour trying to lose Mum in Woolworths in Horsham, their standard operating procedure was to take lost kids to the pick'n'mix so we gorged on toffees whilst they sent out a Mrs OW you've lost your kids again message, worked well but wore thin when I reached 18

Showing your age now........Woolies & Horsham.

Long since gone.

Wish I'd tried this approach though!

It happened to me once. The Security Guard asked me my name. I still remember his tannoy announcement:

"Hugh Jarce. I've got a Hugh Jarce here, who's the daddy?"

Dunno if they still make them but they had a harness to go round the kids chest and basically a lead attached to it just like a dog lead.

I had one of them! For the same reason that I'd keep wandering off and crossing roads without paying any attention whatsoever to what may or may not have been sharing the road with me.

I got separated from my Mum at British Home Stores in Churchill Square when I was a nipper.

Apparently she found me shouting at a security guard who I was forthrightly telling that I wasn't allowed to speak to strangers!!

When I got lost in Sainsburys as a kid the nice lady said to me.."whats your mum like?"

"Big cocks and vodka" I replied


Boom-Tish.

When I was a little'un we were having a family party at my Grandparents house and I wondered out the front door and over the road and down the street to the sweet shop.

The owner knew all of us and called took me back to the house with my family completly oblivious that I had gone!
