The Yoof Of Today

[sunny-dave]

I refer you all to Wednesday's edition of 'Pointless' - unusually all 8 competitors were 'yoof' (or nearly so).

Asked to name an EU country 3 of the 8 offered Norway, Moldova and Albania - all definitely not in the EU ... and most of the others couldn't get beyond Italy, France, Spain when searching for the required obscure answers.

And yet I bet they all think that ignorant older people have #ruinedourlives

[ yes I know it's anecdotal and a stereotype - but the reason things are stereotypical is that ... they are often true ]

I would have said Montenegro

[sunny-dave]

... and been ... wrong :)

Did anyone mention us?

It amazes me how many johnny foreigners think we have already left.

[mallyh]

just curious ,what does P:D mean x

[sunny-dave]

We were specifically excluded from the answers, talbot - but your point is well made ...

[sunny-dave]

An attempt at smiley icons I think, mally

[sunny-dave]

... and (worse by far) probably reading The Grauniad too ...

I read the Guardian sometimes but only when I need a decent laugh.

[sunny-dave]

I read it religiously, Jim - ie on Sundays with my eyes closed and fingers crossed ...

To be fair, that is a very easy mistake to make......
Montenegro, while not in the EU, uses the euro as currency, whilst Croatia, bang next door, is in the EU but doesn't use the euro as currency.
I got really confused when visiting both.
