Mecannylad wants to know why so many bloody young kids pass through `the system` these days magically untouched by anything remotely resembling respect. Kids who treat petty crime as a reasonable career option and who know that getting caught is not the same as getting punished.
They are all laughing at us old giffers …. laughing at the people who play by the rules.
But their time will come.
I – and millions like me - may be long gone, however this unruly young generation will get their comeuppance. Mecannylad believes in historical fate.
Is Mecannylad just another Townie on a collision course with the countryside? Can he hack it in the bracing air of the fabulous Peak District? Will he survive amongst the farming set and their prize winning friesians? ....... This staunch Geordie carries fond memories from the gritty back streets of 1960`s Tyneside when a Big Mac was nothing more than a raincoat, a joint was only the Sunday roast and going all the way was simply staying on the bus until the terminus.
