Does anybody here take the Greens seriously?

That’s neat, 1947, does that give me a free pass to whinge?

1947 makes you a boomer, doesn't it? In some peoples' eyes you are the cause of today's problems.

I don't pretend that it was all bad or that the Thatcherism of the 80s and 90s was a period of unalloyed good.

That's something, I suppose.

I’m a boomer as well and it wan’t my fault so it must have been BoldonLad’s.

Not according to the post I replied too, I was born about 7 years too early, so, I suppose I could be a boomette 😂

Those labels make no sense. There's a big difference in experience imo between those born in 1965 and those born in 1980 but we're all Gen X apparently.

I guess that the mis-selling of endowment mortgages to that (my) generation is probably small beer compared with the before/after generations. And wearing flares. And having the choice between Blue Peter and Magpie based solely on parents' prejudices.

See, it wasn't all sunshine and roses.

My kids would probably rather go barefoot than have the choice of only black plimsolls, Jesus sandals, or Dunlop green flash.

How I describe my journey to school to my kids:

 

[CXRAndy]

I used to walk to and from infant school -1.5 miles on my own.

 

[AuroraSaab]

Me too, with my siblings, though not that far. Nowhere near as much traffic as nowadays though.

Nothing wrong with Dunlop Green Flash.
A considerable upgrade from black plimsoles.
