That’s the whole issue for me, we’re getting older and start to find things annoying that have actually always been there but we just didn’t notice or care when we were younger.
I remember by Dad moaning about “the state of that” if he saw skin heads or punks in the 70’s, then complain about the state of Cheetham hill rd in the 80’s, stuff we didn’t notice as kids but now as we’re older we find them irritating. How many of us can hand on heart say we didn’t litter as kids? But now we wouldn’t think about it and berate those who do, we’ve posters complaining about gum on the floor, never spat any out ourselves did we?

It’s our age that makes us notice stuff, another 25 years we’ll all be too decrepit to see it and our kids will be complaining.

Shit getting old isn’t it. I actually used the “there are people in the world who only have rice for tea” when my daughter was moaning about what we are having tonight! Ha ha. Fucking grumpy old twat!

Not sure this washes really. I'm fairly young (early 20s) and I've definitely noticed a real decline in Manchester, it's terribly sad
 
Just walking through St Peters Square a few minutes ago- beautiful.

On the way did you cut through the back into the china town car park to have shouting match witht he wino's and spice heads?
Or savour the smell of urine if you decide to cut down the side of cemtral library walk?
Or walk past the unfortunatle genuine homeless and then the profesional beggars on Oxford St

Walk through St Peters every day, pretty clean and always safe and friendly, walk a minute in any direction and you find where the city is being neglected
