Urban myth. Every older generation believes the younger generation lack respect for these people. Plenty do have that respect in every era but people only remember the ones that don't.

A shared drive was the land between yours & the neighbours that you used to get to your garages.
Sheltered accommodation was where you waited for a bus.
And crack was a gap between paving stones.

I really don't believe there is the same respect (Maybe fear is the word)for the Police, Teachers and Elders as when I was young.

Me Gran knitting me a jumper for school in one day.
You had respect or fear, so did I. My kids do. I remember those at my school, very respectable school, who didn't. Has always been the way. Memory is very selective on these issues.
I remember being in a lecture as a student and seeing a selection of quotes denouncing the youth for lacking respect. After reading the quotes the author's and the year were revealed. The first quote was from Aristotle and each subsequent quote had a gap of 150-200 years before arriving at modern day times. It was ever thus..............
