Mindless youth of today

I never expected the positive response my thread has had - I was a teen in 50s and 60s and it never occurred to us to do this sort of vandalism - I remember setting fire to grass on a railway embankment and getting copped by railway police- I was 7 or 8 - marched home and given a belt - I/we never did it again - I can't remember any of my mates or myself breaking in to anywhere - if we saw a cop on the beat we ran for it - not that we had done anything but the fact he might think we had.
Today the kids have no respect what so ever and this I blame on the do gooders from when I was late teens to today - I had some dopey mates and when I asked them what they wanted to be they said Social workers - if they became one and rose up the ranks I can see why we are in the mess we are in.
I have to say I am glad to be the age I am because I am not going to see the final outcome of the crisis that this country is going to go though in the next 20 yrs

Although I was well past Blue Peter years it still hit me that someone could do that to the Blue Peter garden.

The only thing I got right in my life was to live in out of the way places where things like this rarely happen - although it's getting closer.
