The youth of today really aren't that bad....

So, despite the continuing negative media coverage that the youth of today seem to unrelentlessly receive there are examples of people who contradict this negative image.
I am aware that there are many examples of good deeds that performed by young adults and that they do sometimes be covered by the media. However, this example struck me and stuck with me.
On the way back from Colchester university on Sunday we, unfortunately, had to pull over onto the hard shoulder of the M25 and wait for mums car to cool down (this is as technical as I can get.) Also on the hard shoulder was an elderly couple who's car had broken down on the middle lane. However, it was a very hot day and they were obviously hot, slight distressed and a bit fed up with the whole situation.
Just as we pulled onto the hard shoulder a car pulled up beside the other car whist still on the travelling lane - there was a lot of traffic all travelling at about 5 miles an hour - and handed the elderly couple two unopened bottles of water.
The couple were obviously very grateful and offered to pay them back for it, the boys refused payment and everyone continued to go about their business.

Sorry, if this post seems a bit pointless and convoluted but I thought it was a charming story that for once shed a positive light.

Royal opinions...

So, as you may have noticed there have been celebrations and parties popping up all around the country to mark the 60 year reign of Queen Elizabeth II. This has been a huge event for England and . for many other countries, especially those who are part of the Commonwealth. I, although I didn't really take part in the celebrations, like the Royal Family, what they stand for and don't really understand why there is so much resentment towards them.

They provide a sense of unity between countries that otherwise would not be associated with them, i don't mean politically I mean within public opinion. The Royal Family besides providing a huge a profitable tourist attraction for the country provides a central focus of unity and peace all around the world. They help us to remember the traditions that England used to be so proud of and remind us of our heritage.

If they were really as bad as so many people make them out to be then the turn out to the street parties, village celebrations, honouree concerts and so many more really wouldn't have been so high and if nothing else remember that the Royal Family has provided us with more extended weekends and excuses to celebrate.
