[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 100241, member: 175057"] It is an unfortunate sign of the times, it is probably also the case that the other individual was nowhere near the age of 20 and probably below the lower target age judging by the language used. In years gone by, you would find retired men in villages or town areas, passing on hobby or skill tips and stories of their youth to unrelated youngsters with the complete approval of their parent/parents, just doesn't happen anymore. They are now wary of even smiling at kids lest they are accused of having ill intentions. A great shame in my opinion, as I remember when I was eight or nine spending a lot of time with an old chap who worked out of a little shed, making his own bikes from scratch and selling them to the local families. During the summer holidays I would spend many days there, with my mother giving me a sandwich pack so that I could have lunch with him, a very fond memory for me and one which modern day kids are unlikely to have.
