It wasn't your pram.......But if it was left unattended it was game.....

It was a coach built Silver Cross pram with a navy hood, and Nanny saw you take it!

It would be nice after all these years if you could admit your guilt, and I could once again get Nanny to push me in my pram.

Err, was that the double hooded navy Silver Cross with the large train wheels at the front and ivory bakelite handle with a side mounted hand brake?……

Yes. See, I knew you were the little ruffian that pram jacked Nanny and myself.

Wasn’t us…………must have been my cousin Boo.

We could get 30 mph out of a big wheeler down the hill, the only problem was the high mounted hand brake, you’d kick it and go A .O.T and end up in A&E having the gravel picked out of your wounds..

So the reputation that today's kids are worse than in the past is wrong?

No, in reality there's no difference. What is different is there’s no check in place to stop the kids of today going to far. If we told some old fart to pee off the old fart would come after us and one of us would always get a slap. That was a shared punishment and we would show that person more respect. Today the kids would beat the old fart senseless because no one can touch them. If you do you’re the one in trouble. The all system as gone to far and if we don’t pull it back soon, more people will suffer from ever younger offenders.

50 years ago threats of violence from kids was probably sticking their tongues out or waving a fist

present day kids will smash a bottle of WKD in your face or jump you from behind and mug you

infact the only thing that you can say positive about todays scumbags is that they have got better at violence

SPUGGIE J · 11-11-2005, 01:25

Try weegieville they knife you for fun

Bad-Wolf · 11-11-2005, 11:14

Speaking of you thugs, last October (2004) I was woken at one in the morning by someone in the front garden! I went out to see what was going on and caught some sod trying to break into my car. When I confronted him he ran at me my with a Stanley knife!!!!!!!

Anyway, to cut a long story short I clobbered him! Next morning I was arrested for assault!!!

He goes for me with a knife in my garden having tried to break into my car and I am the one who gets done!!!!!

Granted he was only 16, but at one in the morning if a 6ft yob goes for you with a knife what you going to do? Well apparently we have to let him stab you!

I obviously was not around 50 years ago but I should imagine 16 year olds were not attacking people in their homes with knives!

cashman · 11-11-2005, 12:19

know what you mean bad-wolf, yobs were frightening my late mother-in-law,in her bungalow during dark nights,i went to the police station reported it,and they said they were too busy to send anyone up ossy,so i said i would stay with her and sort em myself if they returned,to this i was told if i laid a finger on em- i would be prosecuted. the point is you can't win! the law is now on the side of this scum- far as i'm concerned.
