Re: something wrong.

You cannot be indignant about the truth Dorothy.
The truth is that there seems to be no stomach for discussion....well unless it is about football.
MH....since when did it matter who was listening or not listening to the man in the street...oh yes and the woman too.
Forums like this have been a valuable community sounding board, but this does not appear to have much interest for those below pension age.
The younger folk are more into other platforms....twitter, instagram, WhatsApp and it is very unlikely that Accyweb has anything that draws them to it.
Another thing is that people are increasingly wary of saying the wrong thing.....the world has become a very strange place....well, no not the world but the people in it.
There are those who could take offence at Jack and Jill going up the hill....they’d be telling us that this rhyme was sexist, colonialist, not green or some other such nonsense.

I am really quite glad to be at the tail end of a very happy and productive life.....but can see nothing like a ‘future’ for those who come after us.
