Yeah it's true-we hardly see kids out playing where i live-the only ones you see hang around outside pubs being rude to adults for upmanship driven by their peers to post on a blog on the internet!?
Even the small things such as building tree houses,making go carts,crab appling,conkering,marbles etc etc have all hit the fan!Mind you i don't think most kids would know an apple tree to harvest them nowadays!!Aplogies for sounding cynical but it's a general state of play-there are a few kids out there but they're a minority unfortunately.
