Made a special trip to Alton Towers recently wanting to try out the new Charlies Choccy ride. It wasn't to be. A sandwich board sign that exluded those without children. When I was a child my father used to bring us inline with reality as it was perceived then with "... the world doesn't evolve around kids." Well, the fact of the matter is, whether we like it or not it appears the opposite is true. Attraction vouchers; few have 2 adults for the price of 1 it is mostly 1 adult and a child goes free. Whilst I appreciate that children are our future many couples without children are penalised for being childless irrespective of whether they have made that choice or nature has done it for them. I think too that every generation grumbles about the the bad behaviour of the up and coming younger generation I feel the difference now is there seems to be fewer consequences for bad behaviour and so it seems the kids are running wild. Equally, I don't think it is fair to say that all children are feral, there are many that have taken heed of parental guidelines and training to the benefit of all including themselves..... Now... when do they go back to school?
