Haha, nice one you two! Parents working isnt the problem imo, at this moment (in the rain) and similar to last night, there are youngsters outside right now, making more noise than enough, the parents are never heard telling them off for it, or calling them in for bed, you only hear the parents shouting when the children are under THIER feet! :rolleyes:

i always address young uns as i would anyone else, some are polite n friendly some are pig ignorant, but i don't believe in fairies.:rolleyes:

I do the same thing and find them very aproachable. I think it is the way you speak to them, just like anyone else, that depends on the response you get.

As we have mentioned a number of times it's all down to a lack of respect and discipline.
Where do the young get guidance from these days? Not parents,not school,not the police ,nor in youth clubs.
The teachers are hamstrung by the rules they have to abide by,the police ditto.Youth workers have a brief to engage the youngsters and not be judgemental.
All this combines to give the message that there are no boundaries; yob rule is ok!
Perhaps we should start again with the schools being the first target,reinstate discipline backed up by sensible school governors.
Human nature makes us challenge authority,but in the end we have to live within a lawful state.
Some kids develop into model adults,some regretably don't.
If all they have to guide them is the behaviour of their peers then the situation will continue to degenerate.
Do parents know or care what little Wayne and Waynette are up to when they are out and about?
Take a walk around any area after dark,do you feel secure?
Time for a rethink.
Rant over!:rolleyes:

Not much wrong with your assessment Lampman, but as much as I'd like to see a return to old values, it ain't going to happen, there are to many do gooders now who's philosophy is that kids should be respected, in my day kids were respected but they first had to earn that respect. Having said that not all kids are bad, but they are all tared with the same brush, unfortunately
