wicked read mate, and i couldn't agree more... Me and the mrs have got our first kiddie on the way and to be honest it is a bit scary! We live in a house in the neighborhood where I grew up, and it is deffinately not the same..
We used to go exploring up the woods or down the brook by ourselves!!! you wouldn't dream of letting a child do that now without an adult being there! and even then theres still fu*king chavs who dont give a flying fu*k about anyone else and think they are gods gift....

society today is a very scary thing..

Great thread though..
