If they are well fed they will float better.
But that surprises me....or maybe it shouldn't???
Town police clauses act 1847, Children and young persons act 1921(?), and the Licensing act (ALL), makes it an offence to be "drunk in charge of a child". ALSO "Drunk in charge of a pushchair or pram".
Pretty easy nab for Mr Plod. Surprised they have not thought of it. (or maybe it shouldn't???)
