Re: Kids of today....!
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....

LOL - but the unfortunate thing is that the great unwashed seem to breed like flies. Why the UK has such a high proportion of teenaged single-mothers is beyond me - I mean, they give out condoms for free at family planning clinics. Are they really that stupid, or do they want to be saddled with offspring before the age of 20?????

They tell me that age is no barrier to living in sin...... Get out there and get your devil-horns on, lady.

2. Some bling from Argos (perticularly large hoop earings).
3. Packet of cigs.
4. Proof or a recent ASBO and at least a dozen shoplifting convictions.

Re: Kids of today....!
I smoked when i was 13....
but i would have never spoken to a old lady like that.
A couple of years ago i went to my local shop and there was a group of girls about 13 yrs outside and they asked me to buy them some cigs.
I told them that i started smoking when i was their age and it was too hard for me to stop now, that they should just give up now etc etc etc and i couldn't buy them. They all actually stood there listing to my lecture and then they said thanks and they understood and i said goodbye. I'm sure they prob just asked the next person that came along to do it but i was pleasantly surprised how polite they all were.
Maybe it's the way you approach things........ or maybe shouldn't approach things........

Re: Kids of today....!
Some of today's kids with an ASBO tend to 'wear it' with pride like some sort of badge.
In my day, if you were a pest or caught stealing apples, say, the local bobby on the beat usually caught you and gave you a right telling off or, at worst, 'skelp yer lug' (slap on the ear) and sent you on your way...but, alas, no longer politically correct !
Perhaps getting policemen out of their offices or cars and back onto the streets may help.
