I remember how excited I used to get on a weekly shopping trip if my parents decided to get a kitchen roll with a cartoon pattern on it. We didn't have a great deal of gadgets and gizmos to play with, but that didn't matter to us. Nowadays, children are often more technologically savvy than their parents from a very young age. The Internet has always been there, and it's quick and easy to get in touch with people. So you can understand their frustration when these facilities taken away from them. Jamie wasn't impressed with being on our CrossCountry Train. He's only about 8 years old:
Jaime: Dad?
Dad: Yes, Jamie.
Jamie: What's the Wi-Fi password for this train?
Dad: I don't know,son.
Jamie: Dad?
Dad: Yes, Jamie.
Jamie: Does this train even have Wi-Fi?
Dad: **checks phone** No, I don't think it does.
Jamie: Dad?
Dad: Yes, Jamie.
Jamie: You know next time we go on a train?
Dad: I do.
Jamie: Can we go on one that's not so shit please?
My first thought was that he was a bit ungrateful. I instantly forgave him when I realised he had said 'please'.
