best to apologise pay the money then move on. As the world has far more important things to discuss than this which is really a

If the parents were told that they would need to pay for their child then this would make sense. Otherwise, they would pay it if the kid showed up, so charging them when he doesn't just seems petty and silly. That being said, why the fuck is this in the news? Sounds like a stupid spat between socially maladjusted parents, which is a pretty normal occurrence and doesn't seem very newsworthy.

Invoicing a party no show. Really. That's one straight out of the 'How to alienate your child from their peer group' manual for fuckups.
BTW, you owe me £3.74 for not replying to a very witty post about condoms I made in November.
Ah, I thought that was offset by your refusal to acknowledge a pun I made about Navy Officers in December?

I think that was the point of the article, to point out how silly people can be, which is old news but sometimes you've just got column-inches to fill with something. "All the news that's print to fit..."
