Perhaps there is a corner of Buckinghamshire that is immune to the ills of modern Britain, but certainly not where I come from. In my hometown, people like to promenade their Staffordshire Bull Terriers along the main shopping street.Belly wrote:Petermax & Pippa Steff why do you think children today are more 'angry'? I like to think that EB's UK remains as it was with only a few changes.
It is indeed true that a significant proportion of youths do go about in a very angry fashion. My view is that they are thoroughly spoilt and have no brick wall to come up against.
Feral youths are not a modern phenonemom, they were certainly very much in evidence from the late 1940's. Enid Blyton never referred to this except perhaps when she wrote The Six Bad Boys. Their antics were of course somewhat mild compared to today.
