    Ridiculously high house prices mean that many house share into their 30's and are afraid to even have children due to a lack of secure housing.
    It wasn't exactly easy for my generation 30 or 40 years ago to get on the housing ladder. We were, or had, lodgers. Or we lived with our parents. We didn't have mobile phones / ipods/ ipads / laptops / PS3s etc, we didn't go clubbing because outside London there weren't really any clubs. We didn't have hair straighteners and nail art, we didn't need to raid Primark 3 times a month, there were no drive-through MacDonalds and KFCs. And so the list goes on - - just don't you think that it was all wonderful when the older generation were young.

    Meanwhile with a sense of entitlement fuelled by early retirement and comfortable final salary pensions the grey brigade masses throng thorugh our local Morrison cafe every lunchtime like locusts across the plains.
    How dare you questioning whether pensioners, who worked all their lives, should be allowed to have lunch at Morrisons!

    The one saving grace for those that can afford a mortgage is a low interest rate for the foreseeable future.
    Well, glad you can see some good.. Mortgage interest rates now seem a heck of a lot better than the 10-14% , with a matching inflation rate, the oldies had to get on with.

    Nobody says things are rosy right now. But generation wars most certainly don't offer any improvement.
