[West Ender]

So "old people think younger people are silly little yobs..........etc."? What you are saying, Jae Swift, is we older ones stereotype the young but aren't you stereotyping the old with that statement? You are implying that, once we reach pensionable age, we become incapable of differentiating between responsible young people and ill-bred louts. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many of us keep our mental faculties longer than our teeth and hair and we do know and appreciate the difference and, what's more, that there are differences.

And Blazey, "Everyone is nice and responsible in front of their grandparents". Do you assume grandparents have no knowledge of the nature and character of their grandchildren when they are out of sight? Do grandparents live in a cocooned world where their rose-tinted glasses show them only the well-scrubbed, false faces of their otherwise feckless grand-offspring? Perhaps, in a few instances, that is so but the majority of us are not so gullible.
