sage Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 What things have been changed, replaced or updated and not for the better. As an opening effort, after ruining Creme Eggs with Kraft chocolate instead of Cadburys Dairy Milk, they have now done the same to Cadburys Buttons. Like eating cooking chocolate.

Pearl Ram Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 You only get 10 Jaffa cakes to a pack now, always used to be 12. Yet another example of rip off Britain. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's rubbish is the 'Match Attack' or however its spelt, cards that most kids seen to favour over Panini. They are expensive and form part of a game they never play, with random stats no-one understands and whilst they can be placed in a book they never do, instead they invariably end up scattered round the house, dog-eared and ripped.. Give me lovingly collected and stuck in one hypnotic, crack-level addictive book that can be carried round and never leaves your side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I concur, I watched Man U v Wolves at me sisters yesterday, they’ve got a 77” UHD telly and I couldn’t help thinking about the 18” Ferranti black and white telly (?) we had when I was a lad. I still marvel at the flat screen, one of my favourite inventions ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I still don't accept the Westfield mall turning into Intu or whatever it is. Also they never should have tinkered with the Toblerone chocolate.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Mobile phones, we managed ok before them, not you see people walking around with their head stuck in their phones, people have become that reliant on them that you can be having a conversation with someone, their phone pings and they just pick it up and check it...its made people rude. And what about catch up tv, players, VOD and so on? I am the generation that remembers getting a video recorder when it was a newish thing, the joy of going through the radio or tv times (remember when you had to buy both?) and seeing what to record, then the joy of sitting down and watching it....having recorded it, and going to the video shop and renting a movie for the weekend, the family sitting down for movie night to watch the big movie....it was an occasion, not like today, it isnt the same anymore. Or even pre video when the big film was on TV....The first showing of Jaws.....its was a proper occasion, the whole country...or at least thats how it seemed, sitting down to watch a film at the same time. Cinema blockbusters, it was every now and again there was a huge movie, one that broke records especially, now Disney release one what seems like every month..... Computer games, yes todays consoles or games on PC are so superior, but getting home with a new game for your spectrum or commodore 64, waiting as it loads, and playing the same game for months and months... Christmas....as a kid barely being able to sleep for weeks before, really appreciating whatever gifts you got because you arent a spoiled little brat like a lot of kids are today who just get what they want when they want, not having that many presents on christmas day you forget who bought you what and discard one thing withing a couple of minutes because you have that many things to get to.

Its not even just the young women...painted on and look ridiculous. Add some lips that make them look like some crazy mick jagger caricature. I know its an age thing, but even if i was 21 i cant imagine myself finding it attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not the fault of the kids. That’s the fault of the generation who raised them to be ‘spoilt little brats’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
