Re: children of today

Teachers are not allowed to treat pupils if they fall over and hurt themselves, so I've been told (I don't think it is a falsehood)...

Crazy aint it.

Part of school outings are having scrapes and falls.
Im sure at least ninety per cent of parents would not sue the school if there kids got hurt on outings as long as the teachers did all in there power to take care of them.

sure sopme teachers are afraid of even touching a pupil to clean there wounds.

Im glad as kid i grew up when i did.

suing the school in our day would never have entered parents heads if they had a fall.

kids aren't allowed to climb tress under h&s legislation and personal litigation. Schools are not taking kids out on school outings anymore for fear of being sued should little johhny/mary fall out of a tree

I don't remember being allowed to climb trees when I was at school in the 1980s - 90s.

It helps when people don't believe all the rubbish the papers / right wing websites print.

How about the other way around - go back to Goldfinger and tell Cubby Broccoli that you will one day have a handheld device that will tell you where you are, scan documents and transmit them and make phone calls.

No wonder they felt that they could ditch Q.

they must have real difficulty understanding old songs, books etc,

look at the famous five - why didnt they just use their mobile phone to call for help when they had a problem rather than spend hours trying to get home across swollen streams etc?
