The young people of today

[Lou Barron]

The other night a couple of my grand kids came up to see me they both had nice cars plus the latest in i pads , phones and other things they are very good kids and so is the rest of my other grand children they all have these modern appliances. good luck to them but it got me thinking to my teenage days did not even have a car no phones but that is progress i suppose

I had a bike, second hand, two tin cans and a length of string for the phone. There were things called phone boxes that took four pennies and if you were lucky you got through. The car was only used at the weekend if your dad had one. But we got a roast on Sunday, cold meat Tuseday and fish on Friday. Dad often got cold shoulder and tounge pie but we were happy. I often look at the youth of today and begin to understand that they have no concept of life unless it is attached to some form of electronic divice. Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
