Things in RECENT times you can’t quite believe we’re seen as ‘ok’

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

The Jeremy Kyle Show. Middle class man shouts at poor people who aren’t terribly bright, for not being perfect humans. So pleased it ended.

On X Factor and BGT when they used to show ‘funny’ auditions of people who believed they had talent but really didn’t so got laughed at. They then brought them back for the final to do a humiliating routine live so they could be laughed at more.

Supernanny. Childless woman who can barely speak properly pulls lemon faces, tells parents they’re shit and Instills sudden and sharp changes in the child’s home where actual camera are focussing on them when they’re distraught and upset

Sun sea and suspicious parents. Mum and dad spying on their adult children from a rooftop in Greece whilst said child gets off with a stranger. CREEPY!

No my dear, what you are experiencing is your post being turned around back on you. Or are you more of a do as I say not as I do sort of person.

We had a smoking room for STUDENTS in my secondary school in 2006!

People thinking that a vaccine that’s been through all stages of clinical trials is untested…

Remember coning hone on a trans Atlantic flight in the nineties andchad booked nob smoking but we were actually 1 or two rows in front of smoking so might as well have been in smoking.
Came of plane reeking of 2nd hand smoke
Once was in a restaurant in the non smoking area and people at next table started to smoke but staff just kept them.

Seems so alien now

The drink drive limit was introduced in 1967. The limit has remained the same ever since. It’s true it was considered much more acceptable to drive whilst over the limit, but we all knew it was there

Blimey, I think I exceeded the limit of using the word limit in a single post there ☺️

Scotland was reduced to 50 instead of 80 in 2014

In VI form there was a smoking room for students.

Then they wanted the room back as a classroom so they allowed smoking in the cloak room where your lockers and coat hooks were and there were no windows that opened.

So everyone had to go through a smoke filled room every day.

@QueenCarrot

And suddenly husbands were encouraging their wives to learn to drive.

Sending three year olds to nursery for thirty hours a week and expecting perfect behavior from them. Little children are still learning not to hit or bite, to share, take turns, and play with others. It’s going to take time.
Thongs
Wearing such short skirts, yet being annoyed that men harass you.
The idea that bright children will do well in any sort of school. It helps a lot to have a peer group who want to work hard and not act up. Not having to play unpaid tutor to other students would be wise as well.
Letting children sit at tables in school. They would concentrate better and achieve more if they sat on their own.

School uniforms?

ODFOD, you know precisely what I mean.

Sorry but your reason in your OP doesn't really focus on your disgust at the "exploitation of kids" at all

As a deaf person, I really object to that show The Undateables.

Australia refusing to allow people to leave the country.

Refugees imprisoned for years.

I think maybe -

men harassing women for wearing short skirts would be a better way to word it!

No, she just pronounces words weird. Same as people took the piss out of nigella for saying microwaaaavveeeeey

MN is absolutely obsessed with class honestly

Anything with 'Doctor Christian'. What a fucking creep. Actually celebrity doctors full stop. Doctors shouldn't be celebrities for the same reasons academics shouldn't be. Conflict of interests.

I completely agree. Tablets in restaurants, parents on phones because it’s easier.

Children ruling the roost with parents scared to upset their child.

There was a child the other day at school pick up who was in the school playground half an hour after school ended. The parent has a young baby who was crying and was desperate to go home but was waiting until their 6 year old was ready 🙄

People constantly saying "all politicians are on the take and don't care " and the like, then act surprised and outraged when one is murdered.

The vast majority of constituency MPs of all parties are hard working, have families who love them and are now at risk for just doing their jobs. It's acceptable on here to see them as fair game.

When one takes the piss, that one should be called out. I find it hypocritical that they are all tarred with the same brush. We wouldn't accept that of any other profession.

@sashh once an older colleague who'd been at the university for decades said to me 'When I started in this office, I had my ashtray on the left, beer on the right, and my dog under the desk.'

Regarding talent shows you should read this...

i was referring to the fact It wouldn’t happen because seat belts are compulsory now,

They weren’t in early 1970s And most cars didn’t even have seat belts fitted.

The fact that there is actually a community…?

That was about 50 years ago!
