Put the kids in their familiar spot in the family car, buckle up and hope for the best as you embark on a long distance road trip. Perhaps throw in winding rural roads, rubbish service stations, the general danger of road travel (how do you keep the seat belts on a raging 4 year old who keeps taking it off in the fast lane of the M6) plus mum and dad ‘negotiating’ the best travel routes and road works (with no evidence of any work actually being done) and you are in for a memorable time.
