Ah those were the days when respect was uppermost in peoples minds and we didn't tolerate bastards that stole from charities or slags that supported them. We now live in a world of internet trolls, fraud, violence and kids of 14 think they can change the world using a laptop or mobile phone and the PC brigade stand on every corner screaming foul because the world owes them and laziness is an art perfected by the masses as a way of life.

I know which era I would prefer to live in if I had the choice.

Well said!
