Hello to everyone, and anyone who is kind enough to read the following.. Basically; I started to write it as ‘stand-up’.. but somehow it seems to have ‘morphed’ into one of those ‘Daily Mail’ readers letters, signed; ‘Concerned of Droitwich’
So please don’t hesitate to offer any sort of opinion or advice…
many thanks! ...ShellyADHDTV.
‘I ’ve just moved from a medium sized town in Suffolk, to a small village in Suffolk, which are only15 miles apart, but are different in so many ways, almost every way in fact…Except two.
And these two ‘constants.’ these two laws, apply to every street, every row of shops, and every public space in England. …these two constants are, of course; Mobile phones, & Teenaged Hoodies; Who, according to most; are jointly responsible for all the rudeness; invasiveness, and disrespect, dished out, and nearly always responsible for the high pitched, repetitive, and annoying whining, to be heard. Both, have been left to roam, unchallenged, and un-nurtured, (sometimes even encouraged) and subsequently, have become more successful, and more ruthless, than any ‘jack-booted’ army of ‘Triffids,’ tanked up on ‘Japanese bindweed,’ could ever dream of.
How is it that two, seemingly indispensable ’man-made’ objects, whose combined years on this planet, total less than thirty, have become the masters?. Is it because we have become a nation of ‘non bud-nippers,‘ too scared to act in case we’re mugged or sued? And so now there’s no known cure?
But fear not, my legion of spineless Frankenstein’s, because time will sort it all out for us. You see, time is a great healer; and all the time, somewhere, these spotty teenagers are becoming adults, and these mobile phones are becoming binned.
But time is also a pretty good shit-stirrer, and is constantly sending enemy reinforcements, screaming over every hill, to your village or your town….
whilst you, (and me) just sit there, at home, shaking, and getting older, and weaker.’…
