/// They hold up Asda checkouts by paying bills with pence they forage for deep in every pocket, then find theyre short of money and the queue has to wait longer for a supervisor to cancel sales. ///
Unlike the young women who hold up the checkouts by waiting till they have loaded everything in their trolley, fed their screaming kid, and answered their mobile phone, before rummaging in their handbag to find their purse, so as to find their credit card, then only to put it in the machine the wrong way round.
Oh get a grip Octavius - I'm 66, work a 30 hour week, do my own garden, ride a BMW and go off the beaten track on holiday. Got 4 grandchildren for a fortnight plus their assorted friends. And I started full time work at 17 and still haven't retired. Went back to Uni when I was 34 to change job direction and brought up a family on a very tight budget. Young folk don't know they're living. We didn't have stress, never heard of the word, we just got on with it. Even went berry picking to get the kids' school uniforms. Want me to go on??
could you at least spell feral right. Poor bloody pensioners, get it in the flipping neck for living too long, taking up hospital beds, state pension, free this and that, not that they all get those things, some just think they do, not to mention having to take their grand children when the parents are working, or not.
yeah I agree Em
Miss Taylor would neva have allowed feral with two r's
blam ! blam ! blam ! - get into the little room you stuppid duffer !
Do you remember the desks that seated two children ? One child ducked once (only once retribution was swift) and the second child got the slap full on the ear.
emmie, I think the whole thread isn't to be taken too seriously, including jtp's original question. He was just responding to a thread by aog about how terrible young people are.
some might be feral, but i honestly don't know any, i only know the type that struggle with bills, money, knees, backs, and indeed getting or being old. They don't so much complain as go ooh ouch, oh my poor back and words to that effect, and i can only join in and agree,
