Re: manners and decorum
John, I agree a lot of schoolkids around these part done exactly the same, It seems to me its the minority of bad kids who get caught up with drug pushers and gangs that tend to grab the headlines, Its not all kids the thing is when we where kids and young men there where no gangs of drug runners and the world was a better place for it, The sad thing is i dont know one pensioner that feels comfortable, Going to our local club alone or a pint of a night as a for instance older people tend to stay behind doors once 5pm comes especially in these dark nights, And i dont see the same family feel good factor my gran and granddad would often take us kids out on a trip somewhere as we where part of there lives and we very much part of theirs, Family's these days seem to drift apart o early, Both my grand mothers lived with us at the time of there death, Dont happen these days, Great shame Terry.

I find it quite amazing the number of grand parents that go on a Christmas New Year cruise to, as they say, get away from the family at this time of year. On our last this season of the 2800 passengers about 85% were seniors of 75 plus.


Happy daze John in Oz.
