Is there ever a time to step off the skateboard?

Just thought your post was a wee bit Daily-Mail-esque & I probably over reacted, sorry. Made me think of my Dad telling me to "turn that racket down", each generation kicks against the pricks...and we are the pricks now. We all have opinions & we all express ourselves through the way we dress, be it as the landed gentry or under-cover plod. Those kids were an easy cheap shot, and that's why it makes SG feel smug about himself. Small bee in my bonnet.

Photos of us when we were 20 does sound like a good idea though! I looked/sounded like a total dick!
