Please RT this if you agree. It might just get under the noses of some in power (share the post below not this one). PS. Its on my list of things I say to relevant politicians when i meet them
I grew up on a Council Estate and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion.
We didn’t eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group.
We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes and vegetables - (which were not an optional choice). No vegetables, no dessert!!!
We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money.
We by no means were given everything we wanted.
We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming.
We rarely just sat inside.
Bottled water was unheard of.
If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle and we didn’t break the bottle when finished.
We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet.
After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over.
We would ride our bikes for hours.
We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with and be home when the street lights came on!
You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing.
What they said was LAW and you did not question it and you had better know it!
We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real telling off, it wasn’t called abuse, it was called discipline!
We held doors, carried the shopping and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked.
You didn’t hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV.
“Please and Thank you”, were part of our daily vocabulary! 💯
The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.
Consider Re-posting if you’re thankful for your childhood.
I will never forget where I came from and only wish children nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with!
And we were never ever ever ever bored 💯
These people think it’s ok to take stuff without paying. Please spread their faces far and wide so they don’t do it elsewhere. And yes- that is a kid they’ve got helping them #shoplift
This is not what World Book Day should be about. Why is the underlying message being taken over by expensive fancy dress? Let’s take it back to the real meaning - promoting a love of books and stories and the magical world they can open up for children of all ages.

The window of a toy shop can always lift your spirits, no matter how old you are.

I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet…
But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:
Good morning @ChiswickM
Not sure if it was your volunteers or @HounslowHways who put these out this morning, but this is wrong.
A good example of why the signage needs to changing to reflect the markets.
