OP you disgust me how dare you sit there and preach how hard done by you were in your early years, to be brought up in a council house is fine and youngsters these days would love the opportunity to be offered one but unfortunately folk of your generation bought them all then feel the need to tell others how much you made out of it. I myself didn't bother too much with school and education my own choice I always made my own way. But my Daughter went to uni she has graduated at a huge cost she is in debt for well over 20k and spent 3yrs living away from home eating poor quality food and taking a pt job between studies. Btw these kids don't do this by choice they do it because its virtually the bare minium thesedays just to get a job, I suppose you would soon be moaning if they didn't bother, and you will do well to remember this young generation are our future and these will be the ones who will look after you when you have spent your pension.

Firstly, I give not a jot that I disgust you, in my old job I had to have very broad shoulders, believe me.

Second, I never said I was hard done by living on a Council estate. I was stating a fact.

Third, I never benefited from the council house sell off, which I totally disagree with.

My next door neighbours dauhter left uni with a 20k debt, but did a gap year traveling then spent over 20k of her parents money on her wedding. It is called priorities.

I am sure your daughter is not he only one who stayed away for 3 years and ate rubbish food.......Whilst going out night out on the lash 3 times a week. It is called priorities.

Lastly, I will not spend all my pension.........It is called priorities.

Whilst you claim it's all tongue in cheek. You have chosen a topic to rub peoples nose in that will have a profound bearing on many people not as lucky as yourself.

You deceive with a working class upbringing and detest the priorities that change by "some" youngsters. It's pretty low when you go with a "modern" social media platform and spout about your wealth and that you don't care. That is not what "your" generation would do. Would you say this down a working mans club to a packed audience?

You have chosen anonymity on a public forum in it's lowest form. Whilst you have so called wealth. I can attest that socially you are a poor man.

Have fun but what you are doing is no longer what the youngsters call "fun".
Grow up.

Housing: In the past there would be multiple generation occupancy of a home. A couple would then leave to go to their own accommodation.
Now the requirement is for single people to want their own property and marriages are being dissolved at the drop of a hat meaning at least 2 homes where before there was one. Even with no population growth there was an unnatural demand for housing.
The families on the continent, tending to be be more nuclear, suffer far less from this.

... most of their [continental] state pensions are much higher than ours, and many of them live to a ripe old age too...

Why can't older people accept that younger people are decent and hard working, and younger people accept that older people are decent and have worked hard?
