At which point afore mentioned lug oles on said pasty faced yoof, or yoofesses, would be ringing to the sound of bells.

I, too, do not want my kids to be clones of me (poor bastards if that is what happened).

I'd question whether computer games are ok. They soon gravitate from Donkey Kong or Mario Bros, to becoming a sniper shooting some ****ers head off. Perhaps in moderation they are ok, but all the while they are sat in front of a screen playing such games, they lose social skills.

IMO

If that's the case, the same is true of reading or watching TV.

Like anything else it's just about balance. There's nothing wrong with doing any of this stuff providing there's a balance. When you see kids who have to be given an iPad to be entertained while out and about or something that seems a bit depressing, but that's a parenting issue rather than a technology one.

The trouble is that younger ones don' t have a detachment.
If they dobt have phone in hand it' FOMO.

Some do, some don't. Easy for me to say without kids but surely it's a parenting issue for those that "can't" detach.

I had a chat with someone looking for a new business idea.

I nearly sold him on the self reliant food production unit enterprise.

He loved the idea that this unit would be a fully recyclable carbon neutral, environmentally friendly, non plastic reliant, with genuine health benefits and would introduce a comprehensive community dynamic.

I sort of lost him with the name “The Allotment”.

Great idea. I'm hoping it takes off.
I'm planning on making a sequel to the movie & TV series " The Day of the Triffids" called "The Day of the Slugs and Aphids".
A fortune to be made !
