...Awful as such mindless vandalism is, it does make one ponder on the ephemeral and transitory nature of most hobbies/pastimes. How much of anyone’s collection, unless it’s rare coins or stamps is marked for posterity and how much for a skip? The key thing is to enjoy the hobby whilst you are doing it. I’d be considerably annoyed if someone trashed my collection of toys but I recognise it would be both untruthful and pointless to moan about 25 wasted years. Time is one thing you cannot get back, whether you are making scale representations of the Burma Railroad or double entry book keeping. If you used it enjoyably or profitably, well then more power to you.
This does defy belief. Or actually no it doesn't. I donated last night and am pleased to see it's passed £47K now. Maybe they can get a dedicated meeting place which may help towards closure......as for the 'youths' I am of 2 minds......we all know the first, the second being how do we integrate these types into decent society? Not a question for LAF really but I despair on humanity.
But I do feel the vast expansion over the past 40 odd years in what is whimsically called the "drug culture" has been a game changer, spawning a massive increase in crime at all levels. Possibly?Doug
