For me the most annoying thing about the modern generation is their insistence that I listen to a one-sided conservation while they shout down their mobile phones - even worse if they are speaking Arabic and talking to some one half way round the world as I don't even get one side of the conversation! :-) One great tradition in the UK - when the weather is warm - is sitting outside drinking a glass of real ale - in the US you call this warm beer? - but now you have to sit next to all those business men running their business over their mobile phones while they pollute the atmosphere with their cigarette smoke - sorry guys if that includes you. To top it all recently I was trying to have a quiet lunch but two girls on the next table insisted on talking openly about their sex lives in torrid detail - these were middle class university students too! The world has gone to pot LOL - well not here on the LUG :-) Chris B > > Come on down! > > Tina > > Tina Manley > www.tinamanley.com > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
