teenagers today, eh?

Recommended Posts

In my younger days, I used to run a pub, right next to Edinburgh University, and depite S&N's best attempts to provide a pub for 'fat, balding businessmen' (Area Managers words at the first site meeting during its refurb), it was always full of rich students, spending their parents money. One New Year, we had the usual influx the day before term started, and one of our regulars (who always asked for a TBB, V&T, and a V double L, in the hope that we would be too stupid to understand what she meant), came to the bar, ordered, then turned to her friend who had enquired about Christmas, and said 'It was OK, but daddy wouldn't buy me a pony, and expected me to be happy with a Mini instead - can you believe it?!'

 

Cue barstaff falling about the place, wetting themselves, and 2 very peeved rich-chicks propping up the bar, lamenting the meanness of parents....... :roll::roll:

errrmm. . . I think it is, perhaps, . . . . a spoof. . .

 

you'd like to hope so, wouldn't you.. unfortunately it isn't! There is a program on Sky called 'Sweet sixteen'. It's about the middle-class sixteen year olds in suburban America. You watch that and you would know that this isn't fake!

I think I am out on my own on this one.

 

From the dialogue it appears that she specifically asked for a blue car, but daddy bought red instead. I have to say that if she was promised a car and asked for a blue one then I don't object to her having a moan. Yes she is obviously spoilt, but that is the fault of her parents, the ones who are now hurt because their darling daughter isn't happy with the red car. Maybe if they listened to their children a little rather than throw money at them......... :?
