Have you ever changed your ways......
Discussion
....as a result of something that has happened on the news etc?
For example - are you a little more wary of leaving your children alone after the McCann saga?!
Or maybe you've changed your driving habits after the loss of someone close in a car accident?!
Just interested to see if other peoples wrongs/errors affect you?
