Can you name things that youngsters of today won't know?

I thought you couldn't be arsed? And I already have discussed it with you in another thread.

Anyway, in the context of a café thread, I agree that it's not terribly important. Think of it as my contribution, in a very small way, to correcting cobblers on the internet.

Mebbe more, but that's all I can remember for now.

Oh yea, that reminds me, I used to be able to remember things.

I think you would be surprised at how many kids do know Tom and Jerry.
Cartoon Network channels have them running every day. Some of the new ones and some of the old.

Yup. My two bought themselves the DVDs, after enjoying the early ones on Cartoon Network.

I see. Could you tell me where in the UK the average house price to earnings ratio has fallen, over say the last forty years?

Interesting question, as I can't see your other question, where would one look to see that, as I believe the East Midlands could possibly be a candidate for it.

What's up with all you peeps - no coal bunkers and no tree swings!

We have a lovely tree swing about 50m from the house in the woods. Great fun it is too esp' as it is about 10m long and swings out over a very steep and deep ravine. Been in action for the 20 years that we have lived here which coincidently is today.
