Is this the next big thing?

There is very little cross generational socialising any more. We have elderly people suffering isolarion and lonliness and young people needing empathy lessons.
There are places, though they are fast dying out, where a diverse range of people of a wide age range used to gather and socilaise happily for hours....local pubs.
You don't get many 60 plus people down Wind Street of a weekend.
Churches, that's another place though to be honest you'll not find me in a Church, I won't even go to a Church funeral anymore.
What is the answer? If we are to unite the country this is yet another issue to be solved. |  |

“Time was you'd ring someone, now there is basically no need,it's all out there for all to see.“
Very true. Technology certainly shapes society and not always for the better. We were friendly with a Polish family here in Germany back in 1990. They hadn’t been here that long and one of the things that they didn’t like about their adopted home was that nobody just spontaneously visited each other’s flats. People phoned first ! |
Conversation is an art, sadly it is becoming neglected.
I think some folk would be p!ssed off these days if you turned up unannounced, those days are long behind us. |  | | |

I’m not a fan of guests coming to my house. Especially unannounced. Yuk. [Post edited 7 Jan 2020 20:56]

Awful innit, we'd all have to turn the telly off and put out tablets or phones on the side and actual talk to folk, sends shudders down your spine.😉 | | | |

I talk to people all day. Don’t want to have to do it in my own time as well. | |

This isn’t talking. It’s typing shit with mostly strangers on the internet. That said, invoice is in the post.  | |

We've been here before and I feel the same. As I get older I have to listen and speak to absolute "beauts"!!!!
Once I return home I just require peace.
My doorbell hasn't worked in years and I have no intention in fixing it. [Post edited 7 Jan 2020 21:58]

They're not guests if they're unannounced mun.
I don't mind some people just turning up, depending on the reason for calling around of course. These days people usually only "just turn up" when they want something because they think a face to face request is harder to turn down. Not many bother these days because I kept saying no!
I have the reverse problem, I hate going out the front door because I'll inevitably have to talk to people and people are...well, people and I'm trying to avoid them. | |
