The more violent times, now or the 70`s/80`s

Whoops, wrong forum

You are right though Shane, no doubt about it.

I know it depends where you were brought up and many other factors but I don`t feel unsafe now as I did when I grew up and the entered adulthood.

pete still recalls the golden days of the 1940's shane ...... he celebrated his 18th birthday whilst the Luftwaffe were flying overhead and Very Lynn was singing about the White Cliffs of Dover!

Oh dear, you`ve rattled his cage now soldier

...only his 18th?

Soldier you cheeky bar steward you.
I must disagree with you on this one Shane.

It`s open for discussion Pete

I tend to disagree too, but then I suppose it's where you live, thought it was much safer in the seventies,the sixties even more so, people were more friendly then everyone knew everyone in your street, today no one speaks, everyone keeps themselves to themselves.

The 70s were still the tail end of the summer of love and flower-power and more peaceful and laidback than now.
Early 70s anyway

Good points gents.

Maybe it`s an age thing. When you`re young you attract trouble from other youngsters, not so when you`re older if you follow me.

Also, maybe things are better policed ie footy matches, town centres at the weekends and so on. Maybe we hear so much more now we live in the digital age, everything is instant and in ya face so to speak.

Certainly no worse these days.
