Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
Robert, you're absolutely right. They'd cope far better than families today because they knew about hardship, so their coping abilities were far greater than ours - and not just our grandparents, but parents as well.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
Hi there,Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
I also think our grandparents would cope well in our "modern" world. My grandparents (and others) have been through two World Wars and survived for starters. After the sort of experiences and hardships they must have had to endure I would say they would be equipped to handle anything. The modern way of life is a doddle.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
As we approach the 11th Day I wonder if I would have coped in my Grandfathers` time. One was gassed and died before I was born,the other taught me to play cribbage and sometimes spoke of WW1.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
OLD GIT, you have introduced an interesting point by reversing the topic.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
JUst as an aside, I commissioned research into my grandfathers military service. The finished report ran to 91 pages, including the history of his regiment (Royal Warwicks " Reg), actual daily reports from the front & other stuff.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
I have often thought that today's young. Would have no idea how to cope in the times of our grandparents.Re: As seen through our grandparents eyes
I think that most of today's youth would be totally lost even in our parent's day - let alone our grandparents'. If they don't have an 'app' (can't even spell application) for their mobile phone, they're stuck.
