I was out yesterday walking around College green and there is this old woman trying to cross the road so I offer to help her .She thanks me and says "Now a days people never ask if you need help but that might all change " I smiled and was just about to walk away when She said "Years ago people had manners respected their elders but now they are more likely to push you than help you .But I think things might change That Mr Veradkar is Going back to the future "Going back to the Future I asked her ?" Yes Son ."When I was young in the Forties the Government were talking about Pensions ,Social Housing,Hospitals ,Education .We all rode Bikes and there were Electric Trams .We had TB and Polio now we have the China Cough .Then in the 60 and 70s if you wanted to get a late drink you had to get a meal. Dinner dances were popular as you could stay on late and drink if you ate .I remember me first Curry in Mc Gonnagles Night Club .They would give you a ticket for a dinner when you went in so they could serve drink .Blue Nun in a plastic Cup for 50p sometimes it would be boiled cabbage and potatoes and a lump of meat but the curry was the best loads of soggy boiled rice two little bits of meat and a load of sloppy curry flavoured soup poured over it .
The Government are bringing us backwards Back to Bikes ,more Corpo Houses ,More Hospitals they will probably bring back the Sweepstakes to pay for the Childrens hospital . You now need to feed to Drink Porter .FG took a shilling off the old age pensioners in the 40s now they want to rob them again with the age increase .Its a bit like the country has been asleep for the last 80 years
Just as she finished her rant a group of people dressed up in 1920s clothes passed by Blooms Day .This Lockdown is wrecking me head I think im suffering from Deja Vous.I ve seen all this before .
