You're right, Gary.As one of that 'older generation', I can well recall the respect we had for our elders. But nowadays, there's no such thing ... or so it would often appear! It's all gone down the drain ... or, as YOU put it, out the window.
You mention television. At least half of the programmes ARE just CRAP! So-called "Reality" Shows' like 'Big Brother' and 'I'm A Celebrity' &c., with the likes of Jade Goody [God rest her soul] Jordan, and other non-entities hogging the limelight and passing for entertainment. My God, it MUST be bad when people of your age are complaining about it ...![]()
