After 70 years, the Spitfire still stirs the heart

[Mr Grumpy]

I also agree with you that the mold for these men has been broken and lost maybe forever.................

I disagree.... if ever there came a time when the Island was once again under threat from an enemy contemplating invasion I believe the youth of today would rise and do their duty.

There is a lot of good done by the youth of today its just a sad fact that the media and press highlight all the bad that is done to.

Well of course you are more than intitled to your opinion, i can only comment on the poor specimens we get through my company, work shy, spoilt by mother and unable to work without constant supervision or without a mobile welded to their ear and expecting everyone else to clear up their mess (just like mummy does at home), you might have a better quaily of youth up North, but there is no way my lot would be able to punch their way out of a wet paper bag, let alone save us from invasion!!

In fact they would probably oversleep and miss the enermy troops pouring up the beach..........:rolleyes:

Not saying this just because i am a grumpy 40+, it is what i see with my own eyes. :soap:
