This is the whole problem in the UK today standards in every sphere of
our lives have dropped tremendously and another reason why I do not go
out very much . All the people that used to go out dressed decently
have now taken to dressing like damned down and outs torn jeans,hair
down their backs, and like you say Ian leather trousers and a cowboy
hat and the like.
And I certainly have no wish to associate with the likes of those that
came down our street at 1 am, 2.05am. 2.40 am. 3.10 and 4.20 am
screaming and shouting and generally making a damned nuisance of
themselves waking up those who have no wish to get pissed out of their
skulls just because January the 1st has arrived and who only want a
decent nights sleep .
Is that tooooooooooooooooo much to ask new year or no new year thank
the almighty it only comes round once a year it ought to be every 20
years minimum .
