"We are here for our children. We are very worried about what will happen to them," said Philippe Decrulle, an Air France flight attendant. "My son is 23, and he has no job. That is normal in France."

That is one great status quo, i had 2 jobs and school when i was 23, of course that was about 90 years ago and we were so poor we couldn't afford shoes and had to paint them onto our feets with indian ink.

That's nothing. When I was twenty-three the local council would come round our houses and gently saw off our feets with a plastic knife. Said they were doing us a favour. And we were glad for it too.

You had a local council - you lucky bastard!

When I were a lad, local unemployed minors would come round our pothole (coz we didn't have a house!) and pour molten glass into our ears, then they would pull out our toenails with mud, as nobody could afford plyers. And we'd thank them for it!

Glass?! That was a luxury in our day! When I was 23 we had a family business where we voluntarily crawled around on a hard abbatoir floor covered in rusty needles whilst having to roar the tune of "O Come O Come Emmanuel" over the caterwauling cows and pigs. And we didn't complain neither, despite only getting paid a penny a month between us.

You got paid to do that shit?! That's a presbyterian church service in glasgow and they pass the collection plate round afterwards.
