Episode 3: Half term… the joy, the chaos, and the constant

Send us Fan MailHalf term… the joy, the chaos, and the constant need to keep the kids entertained.In this episode of Cockney & Son, Lew and Steve talk all about half-term survival — from the pressure to plan activities and the cost of days out, to whether kids really need entertaining 24/7 or if boredom might actually be a good thing.Recorded just before Lew heads off to Holland with Rich and the kids, the pair chat about how school holidays have changed from the 60s and 70s to now, the juggle parents face with work and childcare, and the reality of trying to keep everyone happy for a full week off school. There’s also a proper rant about screens, social media pressure, and why parenting in 2026 feels very different to growing up back in the day.Plus, as always, expect plenty of old-school opinions, relatable family moments, and a round of Bleedin’ Dad Jokes to finish things off.🎧 Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One LondonNew episodes every week – unfiltered chat, real opinions, and a proper bit of banter between father and son.Got a question or topic you want my dad’s take on?Send it over on Instagram: @twodadsinlondon Thanks for listening — if you enjoyed it, give us a follow, leave a rating, and share it with someone who remembers when milk came in bottles.
