But yeah things are too PC nowadays. People worrying about the snow. Oh.. how will we get to work? and all that crap! People would do some good if they put their wellies on and walked to work or something! Lol Starve? Obesity is on the rise in the UK so lack of food will do them good! Yes back in the day things were much more simple. I had better friends and we just got on with things! Ahh well Sign of the times. |

I can remember during the summer holidays taking my three younger brothers up to Hyde Park and Regents Park with a red rover bus ticket - I was 11yrs old, my brothers were 10, 8 and 5. We would leave first thing in the morning with a picnic, a blanket and a football, and not come home till almost dark. No mobile phones in those days, and in any case we didn't have a landline till I was 13, so couldn't have phoned anyway! My mum's instructions to my brothers were that I was in charge, we were to stay together, and to ask a policeman if we got lost! Talk about being streetwise, we all were in those days because we had a fair bit of autonomy and freedom. I really can't imagine any parent allowing that these days - the world is a far more dangerous place.

I think it's nice to have a bit of everything! Such as being a child making dens and treehouses but also can watch tv and play computer games too. Nothing wrong with a bit of mix and match!

I'm baffled as to why some of the younger FMs on here are taking such offence at a lighthearted post. Clearly us older ones can remember a time when there was no such thing as health and safety and political correctness to worry about, and because we lived through those times we have a yardstick to compare our childhoods with those of our children and the younger generation in general. It's a fact that back in the day children were allowed to take risks, to learn by experience and to take responsibility for themselves, whereas kids today have not had that opportunity given that they are constantly being monitored, supervised, assessed, tested etc etc.
Give it 20 odd years, and the FMs sneering at our trips down memory lane, will find themselves remembering the "good old days" with their own kids!

I have 'kids these days' so I love 'kids these days' - I am around their homour constantly, its amazing and (sometimes harsh and cruel) but its just their take on life, I'm not offended/insulted/or think they are being mean. This is a humourous take on what it was like when I was young - A HUMOUROUS TAKE - seriously, my arse isn't flat at all, why would it be?

Why so serious? It's only a bit of fun, it wasn't even the OP that wrote it, its being going around emails and stuff for a long while and I think one of the papers printed it too.

I think it was very much a case of "ignorance is bliss", since we weren't being bombarded with the amount of information we have these days on the television and on the internet. The media is responsible for a lot of scaremongering to the point that most of us live in a constant state of anxiety! Back in the day my family didn't even have a phone or a tv till I was in my teens, and of course no such thing as a computer! We lived in blissful ignorance of the dreadful things that could befall us every time we left the safety of our homes, but we somehow survived
