Was anything better in days gone by?

[yerwot?]

sounds ridiculous, but imagine visiting a dentist without having to remortgage.
seeing a doctor when you need one
being a patient in hospital, yet fully expecting to survive...really
reading a headline , fully expecting at least a trace of truth.
being blissfully unaware of what a fuckin' nightmare the far right were planning for the public's future. And about to inflict.

Would be nice if a kid offered me their seat on a crowded bus. We always did.

Their are still some polite kids/teenagers about. We got the tram to Oldham a few days ago and it was rammed. Almost straight away a couple of teenage Asian lads stood up and offered us their seats.
I told the wife to take a seat and because there was another older lady stood nearby I let her sit next to the wife. All 3 of us thanked the 2 Asian lads profusely and complemented them on their good manners.

My mum says it still does, she’s never not been offered a seat by someone.

6. Abandoned houses - always good to play football against or play hide and seek in. Far less of them in today's housing climate.[/QUOTE]


So true that one, brought back memories of playing footy in the street as a kid and that they were so many houses in the street that nobody lived in
