Children in Need.

Thats why I said (like so many), and not all kids.

Yes, i totally agree with you ionnsaigh.I think that Ninja forgets he was a kid himself once...ok it was a long time ago.

I think this comment is unfair towards the older generation like me, but it made me laugh so I will not respond to it.

[ionnsaigh]

When i'm wrong, I say i'm wrong.

I have enjoyed reading this thread,as I have always said and will continue to say charity begins at home and not over sea's.

I think Campbeltown people with the small number of people that it has raises a lot of money for all sorts of good causes and will probabaly will continue to do so for years to come.

What really interests me on the last couple of threads is what have the younger ones have to do to get some income whether it is for themselves or to raise money for whatever.

When l was a kid,befor the age of 15 (open to question)charity was myself and that was to get some kind of income.The purse was well hidden from me.

Jobs l did was and also in order was,

Blackcurrant picking
Tattie Picking
Chopping and selling Kindlers
Peeling wood for the forrestry (l was crap at that)
Pulling Gut and cutting shit bags in a slaughter house
Milk Round(jumping on and of on the move).That was fun

Apart from store work for the younger generation there is nothing.( all what l did is lost or moved on in progress or swollowed up in red tape..The charity stuff l did was Bob a Job week and Poppy Collection in cadets.

So what did the older generation do here for a few pennies as a kid.

Maybe its because you know that my post is correct ninja,thats why you wont respond to it.

Well done WC for taking this bull by the horn's at last.
This S6 beat that competition was getting way out of control, the financial strain the kid's were putting their parents under, just to get the CGS name on that little banner on the bottom of the tv screen, was terrible and I applaud your good sense in seeing this.
As we spoke about last night, if the pupils felt that hard done by, why did'nt S6 pupils do something themselves to raise money for CIN, I would have gladly gave them a few pounds each, just to see their rooms tidy, but like so many of the kids of today, they want money that they dont have to work for, god help this country when its their turn to run it.
There is nothing great about making lots of money for CIN, when all your doing is taking it out of your parent purse, to me thats not what raising money for charity is about.

Total agreement with you Ninja.Let's get real,if ion disagrees with you then 99.9% of the forum will be in agreement with you.

Yes your post is correct SB, it has been a long time since I was a kid, probably just about the same as you too. Your a clever man that worked that out, doooh.
Bill, I know exactly where your coming from here. I have no problems with anyone coming on and disagreeing with me, I wont, and dont, worry about silly little things like that.

Before the age of 15.....before I was 13 it was the milk round with Davie Black's horse and cart seven days a week(I wasn't driving the horse n' cart.)Left there to go to Kerr's the butcher as message boy,before and after school and all day Saturday. Left there to start as message boy with McIlchere's,only after school and all day Saturday.
Big difference with you and me DJD though is that what I earned was not for myself to spend,Mum was a widow and every penny counted,so it was handed in.And no I did not feel hard done by,I was only too happy to know I was contributing.Has stood me in good stead in the many years since.

Well to be perfectly honest i agree with ion,thats only another opinion,and it seems that there a lot of shoe licking of WC1 shoes on here

[Ninja Mania]

And it would appear Ions shoes also .

[shipyard blues]

And it would appear Ions shoes also .

maybe,but not with same amount of bullshit on them

[Ninja Mania]

In your opinion of course.

[DJD]

Bill,what you have said is the other side of the coin,so good on you to say and yes it would stand you in good stead for life,thats what we draw on, the little things to survive in certain circumstances.

"There is no bullshit in a good man".

[ionnsaigh]

Forum licking =

[Govangirl]

Well, for my tuppence worth, I think this started off as a really good discussion about something that really affects us all and I think it's a damn shame that as usual, it descends rapidly into personal bickering and insults.

[ionnsaigh]

There would be very little point, if one could not voice an opinion, if that view happens to be unpopular, so be it.
However, it should be free off fear of attack, from some rather disgruntled individuals , who at the end of the day attempt to cripple the poster, rather than the post.... Anyway to the dissection table.
