This is something that to me seems to be more apparent on my travels around.
Now as I write I am thinking am I going to sound like some boring old lady who has nothing better to do than moan about the young ones today, but that is not the case at all! Perhaps I am just an old fashioned girl at heart and yearn for the days when it was the norm for a man to open a door for a lady…………
It’s not just manners though that I wish to touch on but also the apparent increase of road rage. Why is it that a minor mistake by one on the roads today can cause such venom in another? What’s it all about?
There seems to be an increasing trend to veer away from being friendly towards one of coldness and certainly not being kind to neighbours, passers by, whoever.
Gosh I sound like I am on my soap box don’t I, but seriously think about it and I am sure many of you will agree with me whilst reading this.
Love makes the world go round so let’s spread it!

| So I note that the football season is back, although I have to confess I have absolutely no idea about football, apart from the fact that the aim is to get the ball in the net (I could make a rude comment here but won’t!).
Whilst I have no knowledge of the game, and have no particular fondness of any team, I do however enjoy watching the antics of some players when they score goals! The funny dances or robotics associated with some I think! I guess the camaraderie and joy of having a goal scored and being on the winning side is all part of the enjoyment for players (not to mention the financial rewards) and supporters alike.
Whilst on the subject of sport, I also note that women are going to be allowed to compete in boxing in the 2012 Olympics (I think, hope I am correct here). Well, why not? I mean us women are capable of doing so many things a man can do, so why not box?
It still surprises me that some things are confined to men and men alone in this day and age and that sexism still exists.
As for boxing, bring it on! I have been known to engage in some myself ………….. (albeit in a lighthearted fun way!)………
Have a wonderful weekend.

I have a friend, Abby, (www.swanseaescort.co.uk) who is Welsh and with whom I sometimes chat on the phone. The conversations are very amusing as half the time I don’t understand a bloody word she says and have to keep asking her to repeat things! I do tease her about it and have to confess I ask her to say “What’s Occuring!” for me which makes me chuckle too! Abby, in return, makes fun of what she claims is my “posh London” accent and ribs me about it from time to time.
So the other day I was on route somewhere but decided to park up and chat to Abby for a bit as I had no hands free with me in the car. I was chatting away when I noticed a man clearly in desperate need to relieve himself of his full bladder and was wandering around looking for somewhere to urinate in this public spot. Now I am chatting to Abby and I tell her what I see – this guy go to the back of one car, start to undo his zip then change his mind and cross the road and then go and pee against a wall where he is more visible! Now this is something that I seem to be confronted with more and more on my travels around London and further afield and it disgusts me. Is there some deep desire amongst these individuals to recreate that infamous Belgium boy in action, Le Mannekin Pis? I said this to Abby and said to her “Honestly, surely he could go somewhere, a café or somewhere and find a loo!”. I said to her that this is the second time in a fortnight I have seen a guy urinating in public and I feel compelled to toot my horn at him and yell out of my car window “FIND A LOO FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! “
Abby is listening and said to me she has this vision of me driving down to Wales in my car and yelling out of my window in my posh voice and giving guy’s having a leak the shock of their lives. She says Wales wouldn’t know what has hit it if I descended upon it!
Seriously though it’s gross, isn’t it? I mean surely they can find a loo?
