Life for Lola

I must say I completely agree with Prince Charles. The ladyfriend and I both exclaimed outloud 'at last, someone has the guts to say it' as we read the morning newspapers last week. People do seem to think they can do anything, the ladyfriend and I are fortunate in that we know our limitations. I've pulled my hair out at the attitude of people who have been to university who swan about applying for jobs with such unbelievable confidence even though they are clearly unqualified. Or people who can hold a tune, look like the back end of a bus but truly think they are the next Rosemary Clooney. The conversations I've had to endure with folk telling me they are going to do this or that - fantastical aspirations! Where has the humility gone? Why have our young stopped wanting to be nurses, firemen and train drivers? We are deluding our children like pushy showbiz mothers and it will all end in tears.
