When I was a wee lad growing up in Scotland, I remember that people were nice to each other.

They said "Good morning"; they held doors open for people following them; they thanked people for service; they respected older folks ...........but now that I am one of those older folks the times have changed.

D'you remember "Respect your Elders"?

D'you remember "Respect your Granddad"?

How often do you hear people say that these days?

Ah, that's right - NEVER. I must be SOFT, cos I still do some of that nonsense.

Maybe I just need to WOKE up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
