I just don't get the human race as a whole, I look around at the news and see people jumping of 200 foot cliffs which then puts a whole beach into a heard with all those implications, then I see 1000 yard queus to go into Ikea and various other shops other beaches packed with no social distancing.
Maybe its the old adage that people don't believe it will get them its only other people who get it, as for queuing well what a waste of your life anyway life too short even before this mess to waste it standing in queus.
There are some very sad people around

MOST people- old and young- aren't stupid.    Important to remember that when framing your reaction to the lockdown.
However- on this site its really important - REALLY important - to complain about youths / young people because of course when we were kids we were absolutely perfect. Damn those young people.

so those that raised their kids in the 80`s are the children and grandchildren of those that are on here moaning about terrible parenting standards.

so, the question is, where did the rot start?

in my opinion it started when even the threat of a smacked arse was removed from a parent, that was enough to find your child on the childline phone line! add to that when the ability to say "no" to your childs demands and mean it, when the child came home from school with a detention and the child then expected an apology or non attendance of the detention and had the full backing of the parent!

so when the little darlings got everything they wanted and did as they pleased, and then went on to have kids of there own with no boundaries, so I would say around the late 90's was the demise.

Reading this anyone would think that the kids of today have it easy,

the cost of housing is so expensive that if kids are lucky enough to buy their own place they have to have 2 salaries,
no Council houses are available as they were sold off many years ago,
they now have to work till in their 70s whilst Their parents and grandparents retired at 65 some even younger with handsome packages.
They have to stay in education until you’re 18 whilst many of the grandparents left at 15, they also need a university degree to get virtually any jobs that include selling cars.
God forbid any parents that would want to take a child out of school for a cheap holiday,As they now get fined so have to take the children in the six weeks holidays when they get their hats nailed on.

The list goes on and on and on and on
