Regardless of age and what you remember even if a baby or toddler you're still classed as a kid. However, it's generally which you feel you relate most to. There is no right or wrong.

For example, one person born in 1979 may love things from the 70s and have experienced them in the 80s and be proud of being born in the 70s so would call themselves a 70s kid. Another person born in 79 may remember the 80s and have experienced and relate to the 80s more so would call themselves an 80s kid. Another may have experienced both and relate to both so call themselves a 70s and 80s kid.

True, it all depends on how people view it I guess. However, I and anyone I've spoke to regards the decade they did most of their growing up in (their formative years) as 'their' decade as it were. Like I'm an 80's kid, and my DH who was born in the late 60's classes himself as a 70's kid.

I'm so happy I was born in 1950 and don't need to get involved in such a silly argument.

It's not an argument Miss Biggles, it's a debate, a conversation. Different people putting their point of view across of how they view it.

You don't feel the need to get involved, yet you still have to comment! :rotfl:

If you were going to a good restaurant (wine, several courses, all the extras) would you really say you were going out for tea?

Tea is after lunch, but before dinner, and consists of sandwiches and scones

Brekkie, lunch, tea if dinner has been eaten at lunchtime, and dinner if lunch was just a snack. Clear as daylight

Basically if you have potatoes it's dinner whatever time of day!

That's 'afternoon tea'.
What about 'high tea'?

I hate it when people tell you 'everything's going to be all right', 'the only way from here is up' blah blah. Said purely so they don't join you in your fears that everything is NOT going to be alright. Its more to reassure them rather than because the phrase has any real meaning for you.

Now if the person saying that was a proven psychic.., no problem, but it seems everyone thinks they are lol.

Slightly irritating when you hear someone use the phrase , he or she is " no angel, but" you know it means they are vile creatures.
