Kids of today....!
 
In a conversation today with my Mum in UK......

A group of school girls, no older than 13 were walking around smoking cigarettes, and an old lady, as my Mum passed them, tells one of the group she shouldn't be smoking

The group of girls turn as one and tell her to f*** off and one of them calls the little old lady a ******.

There are some lowlife f***ing kids back home these days, jeez !!

I would be shocked and devastated if I heard one of my kids talk like that, and would take great enjoyment in kicking their arse from one end of the street to the other !!!

That kind of thing doesn't happen in Woodstock, I can tell you. We're all very civilized in my little corner of the UK....

Right town, wrong continent..... but there is an element of artsy-craftsy bo-hoism amongst the blue rinsed brooch-wearing brigade, yokelly-bumpkins and commuter-types.....

just wondering why anyone would want to say to a group of kids they shouldn't be smoking...I mean, I know smoking is bad etc, but I would never comment on it in a situation like that...not because of fear, but because you know in advance that it won't stop them doing it...

Hmm, I've only bollocked kids in the street twice, and both times was in Abu Dhabi and the kids were Arab.

One bunch of brats were beating a jerboa to death with a stick, the other kid was molesting an east european chic while his friends looked on and laughed. Charming little buggers......

But smoking? Nah, why bother? They'll kill themselves anyway....
