I rarely see any evidence of kids really giving a shit when walking out in front of me these days, in fact they're more likely to slow down and stare you out with a bit of attitude for good measure around my way! :finger
The ONLY place where i see a bit of sense is when i stop at a crossing outside Harrow School, you can almost guarantee that nearly every kid will show manners and say thank you to you for stopping, it's actually quite refreshing for a change!
