l didn’t mean you personally, l meant generally.Many older people are always knocking back teenagers. Teenagers can do no right in some people’s eyes, they are all layabouts, take drugs and promiscuous!
There is good and bad in everything.

Art, it doesn't matter how many years ago, rain was still rain and got you soaked through.
Anyway, I thought we were talking about school kids, not teens going for a night out on the town.
I would rather see mine dressed for the rain than being ill from sitting in wet clothes all day.
P.S. Not quite ' Over 60 years ago' when I was a teenager either, thank you very much!

I hardly ever wore a coat and l’m sure it made me hardier as l was never ill or got colds.
Many people these days, panic about a bit of rain and getting wet. I can never understand this?

I agree Margaret, we can only try and send them off suitable protected. If they choose to strip up when they get round the corner, it's their own silly fault.
