Haven't kids always been like this? I had to laugh when she says "stealing just didn't happen".

And when she mentioned children in Ethiopia having to look after cattle, that might be because we're a developed nation that doesn't have to rely on child labour?

Classic case of 'back in the day' syndrome.

She hit her stride with the Ghurka's, now she seems to have gone mental. People in general behave worse not just kids anyway....

it's to easy to base arguments like this on rose tinted nostalgic memories based on, what i predict to be a rather middle class up bringing. It's just the ramblings of a grump old woman who has clearly subscribed to the view that all young people are hoodie wearing, knife wielding, impregnated, swearing 'yobs'. In reality that's only half true... :ermm:

I've had a bit of a google and she went to St Mary's Convent School, might be a reason why her childhood was so innocent.
