Standards, are they slipping?

Seems to me that people in general (present company excepted of course) are getting dumber, less well mannered and even more poorly behaved.

Maybe its just me who thinks this, i fully realise that indivdual experiences across the years can colour your perceptions, but i cant help thinking that a big bag of stupid is the in thing these days, coupled with acting like a c*nt for the hell of it, having zero consideration of ones own impacts on others, accepting no personal responsibility for ones actions and so on.

And dont even start me on the mind rotting shyte that passes for Tv entertainment these days, in most all cases id rather shove a fork in my bollocks and give it a jiggle

than subject my ailing faculties to the abortion known as saturday night viewing...

Like i said, could just be me, getting older and grumpier, but im not so certain.

No I don't think its just you thats noticing this.

I blame twitter lol.....

Its just the fact no one has time spare anymore so just rush with everything, nothing no longer is simple.

pass me your fork when your done jiggling it Tony, I quite fancy a go at that game

You're not wrong Tony. What does scare me, is some of the places where this rot has set in, too. I could tell you stories that even I wouldn't believe if it weren't for the fact that I witnessed these things first hand.

Watching some folk, I am convinced more than ever that this country is becoming 3rd world.

She, sadly, is representative of a significant proportion of the traveling Brits. The only positive is we get to inflict them on the Spanish each season.
That'll learn em to complain about Gib!

Cor what a stunna! One to take home to meet mummy and daddy huh?

The biggest problem is that politicians have constantly laid the foundations that allow scummy trashbags like her to think its acceptable and that the public shouldnt intervene.
Sorry, i cant stand there while gobby scabrats like that mouth off.
Never mind her hollow threats, try picking up your teeth with broken fingers, love.

Hateful example of everything thats wrong here.

Brits abroad; is it a function of where you go and the respective costs that deprecates the Premier League like Ayia Napa from where I am in Santo Tonas in Menorca?
Here, it's a quiet family resort, dare I say 'upper class' with a fair spread if Brits, Germans, Italians etc, all behaving impeccably.
Go Magaluf or Ayia Napa and it's wall to wall potty mouths of all nationalities.
Suggestion; avoid such resorts and the kind of Brit that makes you ashamed to be English (not British - I'm English...)
Strangely a guy perished in the sea last week, foreign guy only yards from shore and who were the first in to try and save him? Two Brits.....
