This isn't funny! Well .. yes it is
In the prehistoric days of the 1930's what did you do when the kids were under your feet?
You put them outside in the good clean fresh air and sunshine , of course you did.
Shocking: These astonishing baby cages were invented in America in 1922. This picture taken in 1934 shows a wire cage which East Poplar borough council in London proposed to fix to the outside of their buildings
Sitting in open mesh cages, the youngsters were completely exposed to the elements outside.
Incredibly, the then East Poplar borough council in London proposed to fix the cages to the outside of some of their buildings so that babies could benefit from fresh air and sunshine.
Crumbs .. that was stretching child safety to the limit.
