It is lovely to hear people talk about old times....and when they wee young, and what they got up to.As a person who was born on the road a long time ago...can see so much changes,people come people go but at the end of the day... you have such pride, to know that you belong to history you belong to parents that worked hard all there lifes... to give you the best chance in life.In to Days world people have not got the time to say hello or stand and talk,rush rush rush,and going no-where.People now want more and more why I say...Greed comes to mind the more you have the more you want...if I could turn back the clock I would to just plain simple living..and I dont mean hard-ship,I remember kids out with caps and guns cowboys and indians,girls with prams and dolls...dont see that anymore why...because we are gone hi- tec pcs videos games play-stations...and every kid now has there own mobile phone age no barrier parents pay the bill...TV has a lot to blame because they target young vulnerable children...and parents are under a lot of pressure to keep up with the Jones,es.Having said all that I would like to wish all the McHale road people... that cant be home for XMas, or made there homes in other parts of the world a very happy XMas and a bright healty New Year and may Gods Blessing be on you all.
