Naydam & Dewey,
we still look out for our fellow man ... and when he's not being careful we snatch his money from the cash machine, or we sneak round the back and burgle his house, or if he's in an accident we film him on our cameras. Yes, we live in a caring society. |

nobody has ever mugged me, burgled me, assaulted me, picked my pocket, stole my bag or anything. i guess ive just been lucky?
two kids did try to mug me once, one of em said "give me your money"...i looked at him and laughed and said piss off im not giving you my money. and they did. obviously ive been threatened by kids and drunks loads of times, but nobody has ever actually laid a finger on me. it does feel like society is more violent though. but maybe were just getting old so it feels worse? who knows. |

>wives and husbands - now they're partners
I don't mind saying partner. It can make things confusing though, as you can refer to a work colleague you're in business with as your partner too. 'girlfriend' just seems a bit immature and 'wife' is inaccurate and a little scary. |

Don't mind partner for girlfriend/boyfriend when you're older (but can be very confusing as you say) but I get irritated when I'm asked for my "parner's name, etc". FFS she's my WIFE. Oh and schoolchildren or pupils are now students. Not really relevant to my response to you but I just thought of it. |

Try having a partner called Jo. They immediately think you're a homosexual, sorry gay.

Technical Colleges and Polytechnics are now all Universities.
And even the most basic qualification entitles you to don the cloak and mortar board and receive a rolled up certificate from some B list celebrity. |
