leviathan13 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Christmas The full on Americanisation of Halloween The Americanisation of the English language The Americanisation of our highstreets 'The proof is in the pudding...' - no, it's not! The proof of the pudding is in the eating! Social media and, more than that, my own inability to stay away from it! The filming of live music on phones The stupid huge, fake eyebrow craze Just a few to get me started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) 1. Steve Wright and his deluded sense of his own importance - always reading out messages (probably invented) about how much people love his show. Bleeuughhh. 2. When you go on a course where the provider is being paid silly amounts of money to run it, and they get in you groups with a felt pen and tell you to come up with all the ideas/solutions/information because they feel it's important that you 'have ownership' of the course.

Is that the whole having to get off your armchair and shake your walking stick at those darn kids for walking on your lawn when your soaps are on?

GLASGOWOODS Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Sad, sad, sad. I know. That's why children should be accompanied by an adult at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 33, perfectly mobile and don't have a lawn... so... It's the fact that we didn't have 'Trick or Treat' until relatively recently. Before that it was mischief night. Children don't actually understand what the true meaning of it all is - much like what's happened with all of the other 'holidays'. All they know is that you dress up and knock on people's doors, which is exactly what you homed in on and proved my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe I mentioned anything to do with Trick or Treating or knocking on people's doors at all, you're the one who homed in on that. What's wrong with it anyway? Things change and it's a fun way to get a community involved. I think if anything, it's become less of a thing now. I remember being a kid and getting a lot more whilst trick or treating than kids these days get. And yes, I trick or treated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
