When you want old-fashioned values call on the grumpy old gits.

Also the middle class are better than the working class, by definition.
I can remember my parents moaning 20 years ago that things weren't the same as in their day (can't remember what things they moaned about though).
There are some things that horrify me, but why bother remembering how to spell anything when you can get a machine to check it for you?
Why bother being able to read a map when you can use SatNav?
Why bother knowing anything when you can google it?
So could it be that what we see as a decline in standards, is in fact the world moving into a new era?

People have been bemoaning the fall in morality/western civilisation since the times of Aristotle. Something always seems to save us, could it be that things only appear to be getting worse?
