I dont think I'm an old git, but the kids now are definately different to when I was young. I wouldn't dream of walking down the street swearing and being abusive to people, and to be honest very little of that went on.

I think some things that kids in my day were sent to borstal for, are seen as a common daily occurance now. Crime amongst youngsters has rocketed, and its about time limits on naming and shaming them was lifted, they seem to wallow in the fact that they can be as cheeky or abusive as they want, because an adult cannot touch them!

Interestingly, the Wales on Sunday has some interesting statistics about ABSO's again, its alarming how many are broken. Some of these kids are hardened criminals before they even leave school these days.
