Are they the sort of cars that need the keys or older types, although it appears that many are set on fire where they are parked.

Saw 2 cars yesterday in the bottom car park speeding around, doing wheel spins etc causing dust to fly up then off they went at speed out of the exit! Knob heads with nothing better to do, get a friggin life!!

Hopefully they'll get their comeuppance ( without anybody else being hurt )

I used to live just across the road from Concord Park ( over 50 years ago ) and as well as all the above, I can remember the giant chess board, tennis courts and golf course. It really was a lovely park ( as were most of the parks in Sheffield ) and the park keepers took a real pride in their work.

Nowadays it's a different story with yobbos hell bent on ruining other people's pleasures........ and their excuse is that they are bored and have no money !!

It really makes my blood boil.

 

Francypants and I are sisters, as some of you know. So I share her sentiments and have happy memories about growing up in the area.

 

Did we know at the time how fortunate we were? Yes we knew because our parents instilled in us an appreciation of our locality and perhaps most of all how we were expected to behave. It wasn't just our family but in those days there really was an expectation to respect people in authority, that included park keepers and of course the police.

 

The solution surely lies with we adults. We are the ones who can turn things around. Instead of blaming the kids, society, the council etc.etc. We parents, grandparents, teachers and guardians of the next generation have a duty to educate and care. It's not a case of insufficient funding either. There was less money in the 50's and far less local crime.

.

Sheffield was a great place to grow up, it can be that great again. After all, we want the best for our kids don't we?
