Hi Nea et alia. You have my sympathy. I don't understand youngsters. Here it is the stained glass windows of our Church that are the easy targets for our young barbarians. I cannot see what satisfaction they get out of chucking bricks at ancient glass in a sitting duck of an old building that cannot hit back. Totally unsporting. The only comfort I can find in our situation is that so far they have confined their activities to the Victorian stained glass, these being the larger windows and therefore the easier targets I suppose, and ignoring the smaller, earlier areas of glass, some of which are irreplacable. Very frustrating. Any suggestions as to what can be done about it (not necessarily sensible ones) would be gratefully received. Much love, your irrascible old Pa.
One could follow the advice of Mr Coward and wait until we drop down dead, but I think I'll follow the advice of my pater: enjoy it and try and leave it a better place than when I found it.
Glass breaking vandals should be diguised as valuable stained glass windows and when their pals have got fed up with chucking bricks at them without the satisfying accompaniment of shattering glass they will become de-conditioned from trying and the idiots who got caught will be deconditioned from wanting anything to do with bricks. (Perhaps). Young Carl (not Karl Jung)
Brilliant Crowbard, I shall now work on a plan as to how to disguise them, I've got some window paints I could use.
Sadly, yes, Pat. During the last weekend here in Sweden a sixteen year old has been kicked to death by five other sixteen year olds. A fifty year old man has shot and killed one and seriously injured another teenager after months of harrasment aimed at the man's family and farm.
And just to top it off on Sunday evening a bear killed and partially ate a man and his dog. This hasn't happened since 1902; a few years back a man was killed by a bear, but the bear had been shot and injured, this bear had not been shot. Yesterday the bear was found and killed. It was found to be starving, hence the unprovoked attack. Six weeks ago we thought we would have a bumper crop of berries in the forrest. I went out two weeks ago berry picking and found only a handfull in places where I usually find bucket loads. This might expalin the bear's plight.

In Sweden too?
