Re: Are we being offended too easily?
When l was being brought up in the 50/60's you could hear anything in the streets of London or where you lived - and nothing was said.
Some 60 years later, yes l am 63. The entire country has gone totally mad. You cannot say this, cannot say that without being nicked.
You go into a shop and bingo. You cannot say certain words, without someone taking offence to it.
I can always remember days of Till Death us do part with Alf Garnett. Or Love Thy Neighbour. It made us laugh.
If these shows were on today, there would be total warfare.
Even, l am scared to say certain words. Due to the stupid life of todays world.
I always remember standing behind a lady in a long dress and head cover, she sneezed in front of me - l would normally say something. But you have to be careful of what you say.
Part of todays life, sad to say
