mushroom 14,216 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Just on the evening walk and passing a bar. The old Chinese owner (maybe 70) is outside sweeping the pavement outside his bar in the wind I thought that kind of self respect was lost Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackay 3,683 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Why would you sweep the pavement in the wind?. Sounds like something out the karate kid movie. Wax on, wax off. Leaves off, leaves back on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those old values have gone now and mores the pity! You are right there, load's of today's society don't know how to use a sweeping brush, you also see some pavement's with 3ft weeds growing outside the front door and the owners walk past everyday oblivious.
