What's wrong with the young?

I am back from a blissful couple of week’s holiday in Barbados.

Reading the local newspapers really gives you an insight into a county’s culture and its priorities. The main issue, by a long way, was the state of West Indies cricket. For non Brits, England is currently playing a series of matches against the West Indies and much to our (English) amazement doing very well.

Another issue that kept raising its head was the older population's worrying about their young peoples’ behaviour. The headlines of the articles could have originated in New York, London, Paris or Hong Kong.

The concerns of the old about the young seem to transcend geography and time!
