I am in my 40s, but I am told I look a lot younger than my age. However, I found there are some people ("some" being the important word here) who are in my age group, & into their 50s and even 60s, who I can only describe as simply plain bad mannered. In the supermarket, in the town & in the car, they push their way around, are totally oblivious that you are there, and are determined to get there first.

There are many, many well mannered people around. Youngsters & older people alike, but there are also those in all these age groups that are so bad mannered and uncaring that, quite frankly, I stand there shocked and dumb-founded.

That's the whole point Davy....Young and old alike. If the older generation cannot set an example...then how can we convince the younger element to act differently. But we must all act responsibly, and parental example is the best method. Throughout life and the world there are bad and good, all age groups. The more i see the more despondant I become!
