I'm told I'm a posh snob because I don't go to a "chav school" and these kinds of people have always been around.. So it doesn't matter and I have no right to comment about it anyway

Without having lived years ago I wouldn't know.. But I usually don't see the same decline when I go abroad, maybe I just wear rose tinted glasses..
I'm more worried about the drink problem here, especially among seriously young people, than the general dumbing down of popular culture, which is probably just us growing up..

Television for one, is at its lowest ebb for many years though..

You're all just getting older and starting to suffer from rose-tinted glasses.

The fabric of the world's hardly changing, it's just in different colours and you're just seeing in a different light.

listen to yourself sledger, you sound like a right Tory

what countries have you been to where you don't see similar people, i've certainly seen them in Italy, France, Germany, Ireland and others. When you got to countries on holiday, its not like you're seeing a typical representation of that country.

I'm Alex, I'm 14 and I live in Sutton Coldfield near Birmingham. I like cricket (obviously), football, and some other sports.

I'm not sure what i want to do when i get older, I just know quite a lot of things I don't want to/couldn't be.
