What's happened to this country?

I must be about the same age as you, as I remember the Sony Walkman phase. I agree, kids now are just the same as we were then. And weren't we little sods.

 

That was an absolute treat to hear Shiney....Thankyou
Sony Walkmans....i'm not that old but whats wrong with singing on a bus....that's what i did.....She'll be coming round the mountains when she comes

 

"I'm singing on a bus, just singing on a bus, what a glorious feeling, i'm covered in....."

 

Fuss.

 

its not only teenagers or the 'yoof' of society.

a few weeks back, mrs Al, myself and our (nearly) 3 year old went to chester zoo for the day. now our little 'un is very polite, always says please and thankyou and if he can manage, push open doors for people.

the 3 of us were on the monorail, along with school kids on a day out and some oap's and on leaving the monorail our little one ran down the slipway to the gate at the bottom and pushed it open and stood there so everyone could walk through. NOT ONCE did any of the seniors say thank you!! but everyone of the school kids did. i was gobsmacked. i did say something to them but they just looked and said nothing in reply. ignorant, selfish and rude was 3 of the words i used.

 

Well said. Do you fancy becoming a management consultant and having a word with some of the gaffers I've known over the years.
