Inverness has changed beyond all recognition this last 10 yrs or so. unfortunatley, its growing at such a rate and is enduring all the problems that come with being a fast growing city. And in my humble opinion....its only going to get worse from here on in. And i blame incomers from other parts of the country and beyond for the way inverness is now.
I grew up in Inverness in the 70s and 80s......when there really was sod all for a kid to do. We used our imagination and ingineuity and managed to always be amused. Plus, everyone knew everyone (or so it seemed).
But you know what, I wouldnt swap it for a kid these days. Kids now dont know they are born. They have too much to do, they just dont know what to choose. They are a bunch of spoilt whingers, who think unless it involves a screen (Nintendo Ds, PS3, XBox360, DVD etc) then its not worth bothering about. They have a real lack of inituitive now.
