Thoughts and prayers!!
Ahh, now you have obviously turned the page that puts you in the same age bracket as me. Welcome to Meldrewland, and among the other things I have fond memories of are:I despair for the UK, its not my home I once loved!
Not sure if the lack of discipline(amongst other stuff) with youth this past 20 odd years has now blossomed into what we are seeing with the ease of lock down, selfishness and an attitude of don't give a fudge, no sense of danger or respect.
People are now causing wild fires with frickin disposable BBQs, absolute numpties. Look at the behaviour we have seen, riots, mass demos, stabbings, rape, raves, fires, no social distancing, crapping in gardens, litter, not allowed a different opinion, PC mad, just unbelievable. Should have moved to N Zealand or Canada years ago, this country is dying.
lol, guess I've turned into Victor, yeah remember all that but being a soldier back then, it was NAAFI, German bars and women and getting hammered but still disciplined (generally )Ahh, now you have obviously turned the page that puts you in the same age bracket as me.

- Me and two mates running the first Bolton marathon and having our picture taken before the start with Jimmy Saville (!!)
- Football in the 70s!! 46 organised fights every Saturday at precisely 3pm. Police dealing with riots in towns, darts and shuriken along with the bog rolls being thrown during the game (what a waste!!). Parts of Manchester on fire during Bobby Charlton's charity testimonial friendly against Celtic
- Riots in Liverpool resulting in parts of Toxteth burning to the ground
- I'm nostalgic for dogsh*t on every street. For those wishing to see something that was more accurate than enough, watch the Barry Humphries parodies of our pavements
- The National Front contesting over 300 seats in the 1979 general election (I was proud of our nation when most of them lost their deposits)
- Half of Chat Moss and Bolton moors with peat fires running underground, thanks to ass-hats that thought it funny to watch the fire brigade at work
- Hungerford, Dunblane - another proud moment when the guns were just banned
- Taking a knife to school so we could play "Split the Kipper". And nobody thought anything of it.
- " AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz". Lyrics from "We didn't start the fire" - worth a listen periodically
The ONS stats continue downward through 2109, but given the rise in rape reporting, god damn - the car thieves are falling down on the job.
This isn't such a bad place to be, even if things aren't what they used to be (thank the Lord). I find not believing anything in the media helps keep it under control.
Ah, that figures, used to a bit of self discipline. Well, until war declared, and then into a level of trouble that makes anything I talk about a picnic. Good luck Pugs and stay safe mate.lol, guess I've turned into Victor, yeah remember all that but being a soldier back then, it was NAAFI, German bars and women and getting hammered but still disciplined (generally )
So nice to see a lady with obvious health issues - crutches, morbidly obese, limping and wheezing out doing her shopping today. She had got herself a mask, so all good there AND THEN DECIDED TO TOTALLY IGNORE EVERY 1 WAY SIGN IN THE SUPERMARKET, SO SHE WALKED TOWARDS THE VAST MAJORITY OF SHOPPERS!! It was not as if she was taking shortcuts, she walked up and down pretty much every aisle.
When I tried to explain to her that by doing so she was increasing her exposure risk by walking towards people rather than in the same direction, her response was "But I'm wearing a mask".
Glad we cleared that one up...

Exactly. But if I say anything on the Facebook page I will get slated. Shall I call 101? The website only lets you report one happening now or has happened.I‘d say that’s not allowed, tigermad!
One rule for the privileged and a different one for the rest of us again.
BoJo's dad bypassed travel rules by flying to Bulgaria to get to Greek villa
Stanley Johnson says he wanted to 'Covid-proof' his villa for future lettings.metro.co.uk
Another misleading headline from the press. He has not broken a lock down "rule", he has gone against the current guidelines. The rest of us are free to do the same. Looks like they are trying to create another Dominic Cummings storm.
