Selling ten-pound-notes for a fiver each.

To a small proportion of the citizens of the country that already owns them.

Thatcherism in a nutshell.

lMAO....Jonnyboy you hypocrite.How many shares did you buy when Maggie flogged everything off?
 
it's true, you old farts did get handed life on a plate.
Really? Don't talk about what you don't know about you ageist little twit.

There is a common misconception that we've had it easy all our lives. Well, there's been something like 4 recessions in my working life (not just 2008) which doesn't seem to bear that out. At the worst point in this area (early 1980s) we had 19% unemployment (national average at the time was about 12%). Compare that with 3.8% at present. Want an idea of what such unemployment does to people, go watch Alan Bleasdale's "Boys from the Black Stuff" which truly reflects this country 40 years ago when we were regarded as the sick man of Europe. Then tell me and my generation that we've had it easy. My first mortgage was at the eye-watering rate of 12% interest and both me and the missus had to take a second job for several years to get on the property ladder, as did many others at the time. Have you ever needed to do that mister IT genius?

Suck it up Grandad. You should have just saved more and bought Fewer shellsuits.
 
The thing about insulting little gob ****es like you is that you don't have a pot to **** in, and probably never will - unless mummy and daddy give you it. Shell suit? Never worn one. You need to get your generation and location right, sonny.

It must be galling for someone so perfect as you to realise that there are older, more experienced folk than yourself who can do your job and in many cases do it far better (that's what experience brings). After all, arent you supposed to be one of the best, brightest generation yet? I wonder if you could even scrape a pass mark in a 1970s A -level...
