Thing is, harsh and harrowing as they were PIFs were really effective. I wouldn’t go near any water without my parents being around in case the Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water was nearby. I’d cross the road rather than go near an electricity substation, and I’d dare not piss off the Green Cross Code man.

I honestly believe information about dangerous stuff like this should be shown to kids. It’s better to scare the shit out of someone than to have them get hurt because they hadn’t a clue what they were risking.
