A minority, but they cause the problems.<br /><br />Demetrius - in addition to being tiresome it feels childish and embarrassing. As if sections of the audience feel the need to hype the performance.<br /><br />Henry - I think that's the problem, too many influences. Islamic history has just crept into the curriculum of our local school and out goes the Industrial Revolution. I assume that's a national change.

There have been many influences at work and I'm at a loss to suggest what can be done about it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267170289726545355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-10986025369483898382016-05-13T11:11:58.938+01:002016-05-13T11:11:58.938+01:00Having been in audiences now for live performances...Having been in audiences now for live performances for seven decades one aspect of the last decade in particular is the shrieking and yelping when it is time for applause. Also, it seems that any sort of event for which some kind of reaction follows it is now obligatory the scream, shout and stamp your feet. It is very tiresome and if listening to lovely music we now hit the mute button at the last note to avoid our enjoyment being spoiled. The screaming kids is another feature of this.Demetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17198549581667363991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-85522028866063389992016-05-13T07:32:32.424+01:002016-05-13T07:32:32.424+01:00I caught part of the two hairy bikers program on i...I caught part of the two hairy bikers program on iplayer last night which focused on pairing up early teenagers with oap's in an Oxford school. What struck me was the behaviour of some of the pupils, and the school environment in general though I can't help but think parental attitudes are at the basis of child disorder.<br /><br />Previously, and from personal experience of close neighbours, so called problem children have been those from parents who have been teachers, or social workers. Odd that. Or is it prophetic.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03085466471703759531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-33439653086472833172016-05-12T20:58:18.373+01:002016-05-12T20:58:18.373+01:00The parent is just too thick to do anything about ...The parent is just too thick to do anything about it!<br /><br />Whaaaaaaaah, compoooooo, benefits......<br /><br />Walk on by Mr H, it saves the statins from doing their valuable work!Scrobs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12942449871600526680noreply@blogger.com
