You lot are truely spoiled kids....................... not so long ago in 1974 when I was 17, I had left school and was working on my 1st ship for the grand sum of £25 a month, all found - even on those wages, which were actually pretty good for a trainee back then, I couldn't afford the driving lessons, let alone to buy a car until 1979 when I qualified. Even then I didn't get enough shore leave to be able to take the lessons and sit my test until 1983.
You youngsters don't know how lucky you.
Bah Humbug............ nurse, pass me my zimmer frame, pipe and tartan slippers
Young people these days..............

please dont get me wrong, i am VERY grateful for everything my parents have done and given to me. Being that my family is from a third world country, Haiti, my dad constantly reminds me about all the hardships he has gone through growing up there, my dad had to work his ass for 3 summers to buy a pair of shoes to go to school at the at the age of 13. He had 4 brothers and 5 sisters so you can imagine how hetic and hard it was back in the 40's and 50's for an extremly poor family to survive. i thank my dad everyday when i see my car. James A.
