[@nickwilliams1065]

@@shirleygray4569 A whole different world back then when older teens looked out for the under 10's ( without using them to carry drugs or knives, youth clubs were every where and the weekly disco set your heart ablaze, mainly to see the girl/boy you fancied and to hear the music you liked both new and old. I wouldn't fancy being a youngster again today, too much time spent on their phones and lacking in communication skills, not to mention the gang mentality of some. KTF from Sunny Cambridgeshire.
