My mum and two of my good friends know already.
I would love to tell another friend but if her husband finds out he will not understand at all. So we have decided not to tell her as she shares everything with him and rightly so, this I feel would put her into a dilemma so I save her from that. We have all been friends sinse childhood and ones we wouldnt want to lose.

As like most people I have grown up with " Woolies " being the heart of a lot of highstreets, up and down the land.
It seems now thay are likely to go from our high streets along with MFI. How sad is it when major companies like this can go to the wall.
Woolworths is as British as fish and chips. It will almost be like an old friend going IF they go to the wall.
What do others think?

Do we still have high street?
I thought they went years ago haven't the big supermarket chains already wiped out the high streets? Woolworths was the last survivor in the high street everyone else has gone.
We can blame supermarket giants and people for the demise of the high street disappearance, and gone with it is the community spirit, when shop keepers knew who you were and greeted you like a friend.
I am surprised that Woolworths have been able to hold on so long it is a shame they have lost the battle now.

Well done wineman :thumbup:
I started a thread to discuss the quickies and it got locked within about three and a half seconds :shock:
You musta got the wording right !! wink
But ....the "locker" tells me that it wasn`t her that cast the vote in me poll ...and it wasn`t me :shock:
So who the hell got in there quick enough to vote before it got locked ??? lol
Sorry for hijack rolleyes
I don`t see why anybody has to prove that they have been abused through a verification system .... the fact that it is open to abuse because it is impossible for mods to police every profile 24/7 is enough for me .....and of course the fact that we have been told in no uncertain terms over and over again that SH will never have one ...
Quickies provide nothing at all that the pm system doesn`t already provide....except for the ability to post stuff on a persons profile in a "less moderated" enviroment, that is also open for everybody to see.
Rather than ask people when they have been abused under such a system shouldn`t we be asking what extra advantages it provides.....other than the obvious ability to verify ??? dunno
AND !!!
What really pisses me off is that none of the people that have met me have verified me in a quickie yet !!! lol
bolt

innocent
Your thread has to go down as one of the quickest to get locked in Sh history! lol
Do you get a prize for that dunno rotflmao rotflmao
Anything consented between adults I can’t see as being nasty. Anything outside these perimeters I would say could be nasty.
We all have different boundaries and different things that we would like to try and that we enjoy.
What is ones pleasure might not be another’s. So nasty I would see, is very much a personal choice.
:shock: 9/14 I guess I don't know my arse from my elbow. lol
Hubby got 7/14 but then hes just an ass. :giggle:

Or tell her you'll take care of all the shopping if she gives you a list... and you spend the rest of the day in front of the PC blitzing eBay and Amazon while she makes the eggy sarnies. Job done! :thumbup:

But I'm sure Santa is supposed to do it all. I've seen the coca cola adverts on the telly already so I know he's about.
I am a 21st century Santa here, this is what I done with a bacon and egg sarnie and a cup of coffee, all nice warm and cosy.
And if you shop in the right places there is no delivery charges, so saves on parking and fuel costs, so what you save you can have a treat of a take away and a bottle of wine tonight. :thumbup:
I went to my children’s parents evening this week, I have twins that have just started secondary school.
I was amazed to find out one has been fast tracked on ability to a top set whereby he is heading towards doing his GCSE’s a year earlier if he carries on at the level he is working now.
My other twin is an average student, so is in the middle set.
To be told this was not a shock as I have been told the vast differences all through primary school.
What I am confused with is that all schools will not agree that this is streaming children, which was abolished years ago, they frown at you when the word streaming is use.
I am not against children working to their own levels I would encourage it.
Why hold one back so others can catch up has never sat right with me, so I am all for this new system.
So is this the same as streaming?
Why don’t schools like to admit it is one of the same thing?
Do you agree with set abilities?
I don’t know if all are aware that children’s leaving age at secondary schools is now 17.
If my son does achieve his Gcse’s a year earlier he would then be able to start his As level at 15.
Do people feel this is a good idea?
I think it can only be positive; I would like to ask others views there might be something I haven’t thought about.
I like the new layout,far easier to use. :thumbup:
I do have concerns about the quickies but do like the idea of having them in private.
It is a far easier way of contacting someone that you see online and you want to send a quick message to, I was wondering couldn’t the feature be left but just remain private, between the two people?
Also the group thing, how does that work?
Not sure if that’s a good idea or not.
Quote by Staggerlee
it seems to me kids today are damned either way if they fail to achieve academically they're useless hoodie wasters,if on the other hand they work hard and pass their exams these results are worthless as exams today are soooooooooo 't it about time we gave the poor sods an even break.
There's been more than a few mentions of lack of respect, isn't this a two way street ? there seems to little respect for any young people coming from their accusers.
There's an old saying that goes "you reap what you sow",if the youth of today are wasters and hoodlums it's for one reason and one reason alone..WE made them that way....all of us not just the parents or the teachers,we as a society mould and shape our it's time some of us accepted responsibility and started to look for what we're doing wrong rather than just condemning a whole generation.

Stagger you are so right!
But people are happy to point blame at children without looking at the bigger picture, they can point their fingers then carry on thinking I have done right by mine so it isnt my problem.
We all have to realise this is a spiral of events over many years well before these children were born, society has made them this way.
There are a lot of factors as to how is has ended up this way, it isnt just black and white.
Also a lot seem to forget we were all children once upon a time, playing in the street, hanging about, annoying people just because we were kids.

I still believe trust and respect have to be earned. Of course parents should teach their kids those things, as a matter of course.
What annoyed me about this thread is that the op was insinuating that kids are " hard done by ". They in my opinion have never had it so good.
Sometimes I think Minxy was a Guardian Angel in a previous life. lol
An interesting read this one.

I always annoy you thats what I am good at! lol
As you always feel I never talk sence anyway!
Also I can insinuate what I like as it is my opinion, but as I said my opinion always annoys you anyway, so there is no change there wink
I am no guardian angel in another life or this, but I do like young people. But then I have given up my time voluntary to get among them, and even the kids I was told were trouble, are not trouble and no different from some around in my day at heart.
You give anyone a label and they hear it enough, they will start to live up to that label in the end.
Staffs again I must say I like your postings in this thread. :thumbup:
Well if you have so much faith in the young,what about tom night having a wander around Lewisham after say 9 at night. Am sure you will meet some lovely youngsters, but of course they will be missunderstood............won't they? :shock:
I think you forget I live in the borough of lewisham. I get trains from London bridge of a night sometimes and walk the streets around here after nine. As do friends of mine, I havent seen kids hanging about on the street corners here. Actually if you came to where I live you cant hear a thing only trains. But thats why I like living here and have been here 18 years
With respect your hardly likely to say otherwise....are you?
My ex mother in law lives in Catford and I know what that and Lewisham is like.....just up the road from New Cross...need I say more?
Next you will say Peckham and Lee Green are ok too. :shock:
Looks like Lewisham has a higher than average crime rate?

So what does that prove?
That you live in a better area than I dunno
I can only say what I see with my own eyes or hear the word on the street so to speak.

But then if he knew this couple it could have been a bit of a joke that back fired! dunno
People talk about kids of today as if they had nothing, and that everyone is against them.....not true.
You just said qoute" People talk about kids of today as if they had nothing, and that everyone is against them " Who are these people?
So how can you quote that then say not true?

This generation of kids have things I and my age group and above, could only ever have dreamed of. They have the Playstations and the wi's and the computer, Internet.
You say this as if it is a good thing.
One thing you missed if freedom, the freedom that we had to go out and not worry about being mugged or attacked.

They have opportunities to do things like foreign holidays as a norm. Still they seem to say they are bored...nothing to do.
I know a lot of kids that have never been abroad my children are three of them, my 17 year old has never been abroad.
I know of a lot of others too.

The only thing different from now and when I was a kid is that old cookie.... RESPECT. For a lot of younsters they have none of that and no fear. They expect things to be handed to them on a plate.
This I feel is the minority spoiling it for the majority.
As my Father has said many times...if ever there was a generation that should be " fuc-ed up, it is his. Like many of his age they were uprooted from their homes and evacuated during the second world war. Uprooted from their families to go sometimes hundreds of miles away. Their Fathers were not there as most were in the armed forces, but they still had respect
Do you ever feel when your kids go out a feeling of hoping they will be safe?
Do you worry about crime on the streets?
Is this what freedom out forebearers saw?
Is it no wonder that we entertain children at home with electrical gadets?
I don't have this mentally as I say I will worry if something happens, I don't want my kids to fear going out.
But I know a lot of kids that are scared to walk the streets, my friends son who I mentioned was caught with a knife, he carried it because he had been mugged 4 times before he was 17 and said he felt safer with it, he has decent parents, his parents were horrifed.

Kids get a bad press because some..not all...are ferel little yobs. That's a fact. They lip you if you dare say anything to them at all. They have the upper hand now. Don't believe me? then ask a teacher or a police officer the kind of crap they have to put up with.
I have asked teachers as I was very involved in my childrens primary school, and saw things with my own eyes, and yes you get the odd child that has lost total respect, but in general even the street kids as i called them, were not as bad as they appeared. A lot of it is a front as protection, the core of the child wasen't bad..
If kids want to be treated well then that is a two way street. If a kid shows me some respect then I return it. But if a ferel little yob wants to give me his " attitude ", then he will get it straight back.
What is a ferel kid in your eyes?
Is it one that might give you a bit of lip?
As these kids are nothing new, they were around when I was growing up.

You get out of life what you put into it and a lot of youngsters do not want to work at all.
Then let them work from a age they would like to.
A lot would want to start a saturday job like we did around 15. You can not even get a job in a supermarket these days filling selves without GCSE's You didn't need CSE's in my days to get a saturday job.
I say let them have a little independance at an earlier age, maybe then they might show work ethics and respect at an earlier age.

They are happy to hang around street corners and intimidate other people.
Didn't you ever hang around street corners?
Because I know I did in my youth.

Luckily that is a small minority of kids, the majority are good kids from good families, who have taught them the thankyou and please words.
There is more to respect than just please and thank you that is just basis manners
The rest could not even spell them words. mad
Well you have to look at the schooling for that!
well these are just my reponses to your points raised.
As you know we raise our children alike, but we can't just think about our owe children only in the wilder circle of life, a lot of kids havent been as fortunate to have been born to like minded parents, I can not shut my door and just think of my own here.

Flamer is saying ,, that some guys think they need to send text messages to a girl and let her know all her partner is doing on the site ,,,

If a couple are totally honest there shouldn't be anything that he is doing that she is unaware of surely. In this case I would just laugh at the guy that sent the text and look at him as a bit of a fool, and one to be ignored. dunno

No just can't be bothered to get into an arguement with you! wink lol
I do believe that teenagers as a whole get a bad press, I do believe a certain amount of respect has gone. But I dont believe all should be tarnished with the same brush.
That is that way a lot of todays society seems to be going. We just need to be careful.
can we get the quickies back?
I didnt realise it was a quickie so didnt read it. redface
I did get a big red envelope earier flash up, was that a longie? :twisted:
Quote by staffcple
I used this link on the thread about baby P.
It was used to illustrate the difference in attitudes where children are concerned, we've seen huge introspection and almost a collective guilt over the baby P case, then in the same time frame, something like this appears.
Where I wonder do children change from those deserving our utmost protection to "feral" "vermin" an "infestation" and "deserving to be shot"? Incidentally if you watch the small video included in the link, those are all terms which have been posted by members of the public on the major news sites in response to the "kids out of control" type of stories.
I know there is perhaps a huge difference between a beaten and abused toddler and a teenager who is perhaps going off the rails, but do they not deserve the same effort to save? They are legally both children, both perhaps will be changed forever by their experiences. One could say that one is innocent and the other perhaps not, but, today's damaged child is perhaps tomorrows damaged parent. A self perpetuating cycle of destruction?
I personally think and I hope I may have led others to see, that sometimes blame is not the way to deal most sucessfully with a problem, I do not see all round condemnation as the way to deal with todays youth, remember this survey did not ask about children who commit crime but all children.
The charity claimed that the attitudes revealed by its study reflected the results of the latest British Crime Survey.
These showed that people blamed children for up to half of all crime when in fact they were responsible for only 12% of criminal activity.

I understood why you put that link staffs, without you even explaining it, and it has shocked me greatly what I saw.
I feel all youth get treated the same, peoples tolerance levels have gone in my opinion, my children are good kids and brought up to show respect at all times. But they are twins of 12 and a 17 year old, twice now adults on buses have shown total lack of respect for my children which angers me, respect is a two way thing.
On one occasion my daughter was on a bus and was about to hand her seat to an elderly man that got on the bus, but just as she rose to let him sit down she had his walking stick poked in her face, and abuse given to her as he said she was young enough not to have been sitting down, there were no other people on the bus standing so she sat on a seat.
Another time they were going to board a bus when a woman pushed my 12 year old son almost to the floor and said let the adults get on first, they said they were the first at the bus stop so felt they should have boarded the bus first, they only started secondary school in September and there have been two incidences already. How can child give respect when they are being treated this way?

on the profiles where it says you can leave a messege can anyone who looks at your profile see it ?
iv left a msg on garys which i can see and so can he (obviously) but can others see it too ?

can you send me a link to gary's profile? I shall check for you....
Ok worked out his user name - yes I can see it!
I tryed sending a quick message then looked, you can see who I have sent a quick message to, but not read what the message says, am I right?
I saw this link on another thread and was impelled to write a new thread.

Staffs hope you didn’t mind me using your link!
I know of a few teenage hoodie wearing clan where I live, to strangers they look scary in their groups I have a friends son caught carrying a knife, luckily my son has never wished to be in their circle although these are his friends.
Have spoken to many of these lads and asked why they feel they need to be this way, and why hang about in groups at shopping centres. I asked them if they liked themselves 3 out of 4 said no, this saddened me, as I have asked my own son the same question and after much thought said “do you know what yes I do”.
The reasons I see are a lot have no self worth, see no future, the reasons they hang about shopping centres is in today’s society that is where a lot of teenage girls could be found.
In my day we were able at 15 to get a Saturday job by applying for a work permit by law.
We still were able to work out of sight on milk rounds, I worked in a café washing up, I loved it, I worked below the minimum wage but did I care no, I had independence was able to but clothes and records with the little bit of money I earned.
On leaving school we have proper apprentice ships for children that struggled at school where a trade would be taught, we had youth clubs to meet people of our own ages, parks that were safe and lido’s where the lifeguards would watch out for the children.
We have very few things left to be able to give these children a future to look forward to. There is no council housing, or affordable housing.
I would hate to be a teenager today, as I would feel what hope is there of a future.
Even if they get an education and go to university are they really going to be able to leave home and be self sufficient?
Plus they will have debts already from studies to pay back.
I believe it is a little doom if they do, doom if they don’t.
I blame the government in a big way for destroying what we had back then.
We all had hope!
It taken all the avatars too!
I only knew who anyone was as I remember their avatars. lol
But then I only realised Flower has changed his today! redface

Unfortunately Kent we will see other cases like this, there really is nothing we can do that will ever totally eradicate these type of crimes from our society, if we manage to save every single child we know about, there will be others who never come to light until it's far too late.
There are positives coming from this case already, although I do not in any way agree with the direction it seems to be going in, the very fact these debates are happening is surely a good thing, if shedding light on this, distressing though it is, makes one person make a phonecall about a child they have concerns about when before they would not have, it's a good thing.
I wonder what message is being received within the upper echelons of government, is the public outcry going to force an honest review and a serious attempt to fix the broken things within our society, it should but i fear all we will receive are empty platitudes and broken promises again, society should not let this drop, however call me cynical but I wonder if we or the media will still be discussing this case in 6 months?
I really do wonder though and I'm going off topic here, how this subject ties in with this recent survey.....Is this hypocrisy, genuine fear or media driven demonisation?

Staffs,
I need to go out soon but I just watched that film and I have gone cold at that sight, I am totally speachless. I would like to come back in a response to that footage but I will have a lot to say, I think that is a whole different thread and this one should be left to what the op orginial questions are about.

Slut as in wants to be used and humiliated

I think you need to be careful and should be asking your meet these questions.
You need to find out her boundaries as sometimes it isn’t as clear cut as you may think.
I have a fantasy I would like to fulfil but would only do it once trust has been established and only with someone I had met a couple of times before. But I would talk in depth to him so we all are aware of the boundaries.

how about the guy who messages a girl when her man is chatting in a chat room !!!...just on the off chance she will let him shag her ???
very sad that u upset her by putting this on the forum.....

But you are single or you not?
Or is this what TY is saying about others getting involved in things dunno
After reading another thread it seems that a lot of people seem to attend socials or munchies. We have never been to one as it isn’t something we feel we need to find guys to meet and have fun with.
It seems a lot of people seem to need this as to fit into the scene, maybe that is why I have never needed to attend one as I don’t feel I need to be accepted but am just here to do what we came to do, and have a laugh with people along the way.
Do you feel to attend a social or a munchie is a way to be accepted on here?
Or are you like me just have a chat with people on here and a laugh but are happy to plod along on your own?
