Hi All,

My eldest son turns 14 at the weekend and I have no present for him.

I need help.....has everything, so I was thinking a day out and thought....pop concert! BUT there is nothing this weekend or even next, that he would like.

Please, please give me ideas of either what to get him (he has everything!!) or how to spend the day with him?

Under 17s driving experience at Mercedes Benz World.

Together with a wander around the facility there, lunch in the restaurant and time at Brooklands Museum?

Hi,

See you live in Maidenhead, get over to lagoonapark.com near J11 M4. It's a jet ski centre and the age limit at the low end is 14 for the jet skis, get him out on that then some lunch somewhere.
