Things kids will never believe

Things kids will never believe........................... Their parents and grandparents generation screwed their future out on the promise of golden unicorns and a non existent 350 million quid.

Save it for the politics thread. You make your own future.

My kids are into their music- Drake and Jeezy mainly. But i got the eldest into the Dave Brubeck quartet which is nice.

Saw DB here in concert here a few years back.Apparently,his daughter was in the audience.Great show..Of course he played Take Five.Certainly one of the the most significant figures in Jazz,IMO.

Where do you start
No one had more than 1 telly ( maybe a b/w portable as a second).
School Summer holidays lasted forever.
Kids spoke in sentences and adults could understand.
being famous meant you had achieved something - people weren't famous for being famous
£1 a Pint
Catholic priests, care home staff and jimmy saville were good people.
Drinking and driving were socially acceptable.
Having a car that always started was an out of reach dream.
taking something back to a shop because you had changed your mind was impossible unless you bought it in M&S.
Racism didn't exist ( people just thought it was normal and right)

Talking of television, waking up at 2am after a drinking session and staring at the white dot in the middle of the TV screen for an hour before realizing where you were.

People would drink an odd concoction called light 'n' mild for about 15p a throw. The 251 bus would leave Southend for a magical mythical place called 'Wood Green'.

You would stand ankle deep in slash in both North Bank toilets and wouldn't hang around in there long enough to try to wash your hands.

You can still do that in the away toilets at Portsmouth!
