A bigger bunch of rogues and ne'erdowells ...

A bigger bunch of rogues and ne'erdowells you will never meet... 

Actually, that is absolute bollocks. I honestly do not know what has happened to the youth of today. It used to be that you could get a gang of seven 10-year-old boys together, feed them with sugar and pop and pizza, and you could pretty much guarantee that there would be fighting and screaming and arguing and tears. Now, however...

Now, you get polite and friendly young men who say "thank you" and are inclusive and helpful; they turn up on time and bring thoughtful gifts; they are, generally, recognizable as human beings. 

Tell me, those of you who have children above this age... does it last?
