I WOULD like to echo the views expressed by Mr J Hudson (Letters, November 17). It amazes me just how selfish today's "adults" are.

This morning I had great difficulty getting around a blind bend at the end of my road because of the number of large vehicles which are regularly parked on the pavement, thereby forcing parents, children and toddlers and a wheelchair user on to the road.

This in the middle of the school run, morning and afternoon! The council and the police are apparently incapable of doing anything, despite innumerable complaints.

At my doctors, I discover the same disarray, cars parked on double yellow lines, disabled spaces used by fit people - more selfishness!

Eventually, I return home and pick up the Press to read more bleating from the unspeakable who, for fun, chase the uneatable.

They were protesting about their loss of freedom just because they are now going to be prevented from slaughtering defenceless animals.
