The older generation and their outlook on life 08:33 - Jun 19 with 7893 views | artsbossbeard | My M&D never cease to amaze me with their views and I'm assuming that I'm not alone with this. Anyhoo, I was privy to a corker this weekend involving their garden pond pump stopping working/finding a new replacement/judging the new pump to be too expensive at £140/finding one on Gumtree. M: "We were a bit worried because he was a foreigner living on Norwich Road but he was actually alright!" More casual racism stories as they happen. | |

Exactly! I've given up saying anything. I do correct my Mum for saying 'shew' and not 'showed' but that's my limit. | |

The older generation and their outlook on life on 08:46 - Jun 19 with 4536 views | JoeSoap | I'm not wishing away a whole generation (being in my fifties means I'm almost part of it) but I find myself hoping that that sort of attitude/opinion passes with them as they go. | |

The older generation and their outlook on life on 09:03 - Jun 19 with 4466 views | PJH | I suppose that at age 67 I am of the older generation but my mum at 92 is even more so. I have posted this on here before but she tends to say things like "the doctor was black but he was nice" as though being black and nice are not compatible. I do not think that she is intentionally racist in any way but that is just how a lot of people of her age have grown up to think. Whilst I am 67 I consider myself to be a very young member of the older generation in outlook and in thinking. | | | |

things that I grew up with, hearing etc, I wouldn't dream of saying them to my kids. the local shop was always called the P... shop, everyone said it, but now I wouldn't even think about saying it infront of the kids | |

That's just good ol' Suffolk vernacular, no need to correct her! In fact, we should be teaching it in schools! Along with: writ (instead of 'wrote') driv (instead of 'drove') rid (instead of 'rode') bet (instead of 'beat') And of course 'gawn' instead of 'going'. That should be on the bloody coat of arms... | |

I reckon SamPamsDisco would agree with you. Have you met each other yet? Bit odd we haven't heard from him recently. | |

No, it's because lecturing someone about how they should respect their parents based on what the OP wrote is ridiculous bollix. | |
