"I remember when....." section does sound like a good idea. Let me look into reorganising the forums and seeing where it can fit in.

Can't tar everyone with the same brush though Tommey!
It is always a minority (although it may not seem that way) who cause the problems.

Don't forget that todays "yobs" are a product of a previous generation of parents. Today's society hasn't materialised overnight.

I have six children between 13 and 31 who class themselves as normal, decent human beings, and hate it when people make stock judgements about themselves and their peers.

Maybe the powers that be, instead of putting so much effort into sending hooligans on foriegn holidays etc, should start doing some research into where society started to go wrong, with a view to putting things right. Otherwise I imagine the problem is only going to escalate in the future.

I remember when we used to pop tar bubbles on the back when it was hot and collect used ice lolly sticks for the jokes on 'em. That can't have been too healthy either, right? :P

I still pop tar bubbles, the street off Blackburn Rd (opposite Myrtle House) has loads of them in summer. When me and my colleague have finished doing the clinic at Myrtle on Monday afternoons we go up there to our cars popping tar bubbles on the way.  Look out for us!!! [smiley=4u.gif]

cazzer, do you remember band box, record shop across from market hall in the sixties used to buy my records there.

Mik Dickinson · 08-09-2003, 07:24

we are a lot harder and more inventive, becaause we had to occupy ourselves.No computers, PS2's and the likes then.We were forced to use our minds and well as you can see.We did pretty well i think.Nowadays its all handed down on a plate.

Yeah the car park was where the Arndale Centre is now and the other way out of Woolies is a frozen food store (can't remember what it is called though).[/quote]

Could it be Farmland
