give young people some credit

On the bus this morning I overheard two people in their mid to late twenties talking about how noisy and horrible young people are. I was at least 8 rows in front of them and I could hear them - I suggest to you they were being noisy; and I didn't like the way they went on about young people very much - I probably wouldn't describe these two people as horrid - just misguided, and in danger of forgetting what it feels like to be young - they will be doing a lot of tutting about young people for many many years if, as I suspect, they are not even thirty.
