this will have serious impact on pensions and also welfare schemes. a lot of the schemes will go bust trying to service the extra load with lesser people servicing the expenses of the schemes.

    My advice is to invest in the company that makes viagra, as its sales look likely to peak in 2040!

    the nhs will go bust just funding the viagra bills then!

    even the (lesser amount of) younger people paying taxes might need the viagra seeing their tax bills funding all the needed services!

    TBH, I don't know how we'll cope. But I also feel that we need fewer people in the world. I feel, although extraordiarily hard as this is going to be...and I think its going to be hard...its less dreadful than the alternative.

    But ttis is only a projection - I'm sure, though I could be wrong, that we are being told on a daily basis that the next generation of this country will have a shorter life span than their parents and grandparents.

    Accredited to obesity I believe - Take away the school bus/second car and let them walk to school I believe.

    :eek: Actually that would mean I'd have to walk them 5 miles each way!
