What rot. Just because there is no building work going on in the area you want does not equate to no building work going on anywhere else. You youngersters just want it all right now on a plate given to you for a third of the price.

There is next to no building work going on in my area.

No point putting up any more new builds when the last lot hasnt sold.

I am aiming to buy a house for a third of the price it was in 2007.

If i wanted to pay the 2007 boom price then i would be a complete and utter fool.

Keep looking at the floor weirdo:).

The young expect everything now, why can't they have holidays, nights out, & sky and a 4 bed house?

What do you mean work hard?

Whats saving?

This is how a majority think and now their latest trick is well you have it so I envy you and want it too! I also beleive that is the case for a vast majority camped outside St Pauls, I want it on a plate for free and riot when I can't get it.

Yes, they are a little like aliens. Parasitical aliens bursting out of our stomachs then encasing us in goo while we toil to fund their pensions, their buy to lets, and their extortionately priced houses.

Where is Sigourney Weaver when you need her?

I think you are out of luck Sigourney is a babyboomer

And many politicians are boomers.

Agreed,a lot of our present politicians are boomers but they did'nt make the decisions that brought about the present conditions did they and neither did any of the ordinary people of this country.
Which is why I can't understand why people are so vindictive against so called "boomers"

Plenty of the younger people around here have holidays, nights out, sky and a 4 bed house.

The rest of us younger people go to work so have none of them things.

Have there been riots outside of st pauls ?

It’s a big surprise that people who have worked somewhere between 31 and 49 years has accumulated more wealth that someone who has worked a few years.

Free love?" I was too busy working from the age of 15 (14 if you count my Saturday job) to embrace the swinging sixties. Believe me, they didn't swing much for ordinary working class people.

Anything I have I've worked for and all the jealousy directed to "baby boomers" won't stop me enjoying my life in retirement.
