Mind you most of the young girls I see on the streets must catch pneumonia fairly frequently. Initially all we could ever hope for was a glimpse of stocking, although at least the miniskirt then opened up the main highway. This is also a generation which relies on technology - mobiles, apps, blackberries, notepads, satnavs. If the Chinese hackers ever do launch a war and everything goes black, then we oldies at least will be able to find our way home. In addition some of the innocence has gone and of course no one has to wait for anything. Just use your credit card. Part of the problem, of course, and why there is a debt problem and not just with teenagers.
