Teachers for you most of them are horrible b*****ds who seem to take pleasure in making kids feel shite.

Back then a lot were sadists and the worst were the nuns.

I enjoyed growing up  on one of the most deprived (apparently)council estates in the UK🙄...was taught what was right from wrong,never to raise a hand to a women,respect my elders,never bully or take o

I suppose it’s an old man thing to say but I genuinely think anyone born in the last 15 years will have it harder than anyone……the poor fuckers are open to so much shit information that we just didn’t have to deal with growing up.

They will be out front and centre in a culture war, probably a real war, they will just be working for the state in a home they can’t afford in a 3rd world shit house area.

The things they struggle to buy will be robbed, they will be sexualised and mentally brutalised.

They will never know the innocent time and things we knew, it will be constant  noise from cradle to grave…..get the hair, the teeth, the house, the car, the black dad, the tan, the divorce, the 2 bottles of wine every night to help you cope, the pills from the doctor to help you cope, be regulated, observed, recorded, validated, denounced, legislated, credit scored……f***ing hell like, makes eating bread and jam and playing on a shitty playing field seem like a dream in comparison.

As they reach adulthood they will never know being able to go out in a van and just tickle along with a few readies looking after them and theirs and just minding their own business…..it just pressure, pressure, pressure.

We never had to deal with that shit.

Maybe this isn’t relevant, but under fathers occupation on a birth certificate it said “General Dealer” on my fathers, it said General Dealer on mine and it’s said General Dealer on my boys……I doubt it will ever say that on my grandchildrens because there just won’t be the space to be that thing anymore…….just a thought that I found interesting.

Great upbringing, from a household with seven kids, so two elder brothers who helped me and two elder sisters who had great vinyl 45s 😄 I’m still doing most of the things I did when young, hunting, a bit of nesting, walking in the countryside etc. Had lovely parents, a mum who gave her best all the time and a dad who played games on the fields with us even after a hard day at work and later in life enjoyed his company over a pint. Said it often, I’m glad I was young when I was 👍🏻

I come from a line of dockers and Irish navvies. But containerisation and the JCB put an end to those traditions. Put a lot of men out of work but saved a lot  of back breaking work too.Lol.

But I take your point. The march of efficiency and profit doesn't take human beings into account.

Maybe you could shorten it to 'Delboyers'.

Just a normal upbringing tbh 2 hard working parents and in all honesty I was a bit spoilt in being allowed to get away with certain things unlike my two sisters that the old man was more strict with though they have turned out a lot better than me and have good well paid job's and have made more of their lives than I have. Growing up we never went without and had holidays every year albeit in this country. Only thing I thank them for is installing a strong work ethic in me as I have never been afraid of a bit of graft just a pity I am a thick feker and have never been academically inclined unlike my two sisters who did university and went on to good careers even though it did make them snobs. 

  stop running yourself down pal, you arent thick, your post tells me so,,  As fer me as a childhood i wanted fer nowt, lovely parents, RIP mum n dad ,   thank you

Same here I have more respect for young uns who work in the local CoOp or morrisons than those hanging around them on an evening stinking of weed and being a fekin nuisance.

Tbh mate part of me thinks the same it's got to be an age thing and to me it's same as care as it was always a womans job as I remember as a kid and the only male in that field of work would be your Doctor.
