In Texas we have such polite kids, the last place you would have expected them.
They are still brash like Nancy and fun like Roger but they are oldworldish.
Of course we have our GO and god forbid if they disappeared the world would not have anything to complain about.
They do exist, although a walk around London suggests that that is not the case. Although here it is legal to go armed so it is not a good idea to pick a fight with someone - even a little old lady she could be lethally armed. And if a 6 foot guy kicks at a little old lady there is not a jury in TX that would convict her if she blew him into tomorrow is the way I see it.
Ransome's kids - stole (PM), lied (SW) to the GA about what they were doing, ran off without permission (WH) used other peoples property without permission (WH), trespassed (GN?), I am sure we can find other things.
They were normal as our kids are normal - just a bit different normal.
As some old Greek guy said - the youth of today is impossible.
