What's happened to Britain?
28 Answers
I just got off the phone from my mother and during the conversation, I casually asked, "How was your flight back?"
"Horrendous", came the reply.
She'd sat next to a couple with five children under the age of 6. They were screaming, shouting, fighting and jumping up and down on the seats. The parents, apparently, said and did nothing. If two adults were to shout, scream, fight among themselves on a flight, they'd be met at the other end by armed police ! Why don't parents discipline their children nowadays?
Mum also got talking to another couple with two teenage girls - all of whom were clinically obese. She asked the father what he did for a living, and was rendered almost speechless when he declared that "work is for fools" and that no one in their right mind would work when they don't have to. She changed the subject and asked if they'd found it more expensive in Spain these days - he replied by saying, "Well, money's no object when you're on holiday, is it !"
I wouldn't have been as polite as my mother.
