    Childish retort just like i thought - showing your age mate - the more you do this the more you prove me right, just keep on digging the hole:rotfl: :rotfl:

    What hole is this?

    I've never once mentioned my age or alluded to being younger or older than I am.

    Bell end.

    Now i know you were NOT old enough to really know the last recession - your quotes about drugs, sqatting rights etc mirror exactly the thoughts of my current teenage students views of the early 90's - in fact a lot of your comments reflect the typical retorts of someone in their late teens/early 20,s . Not being rude just stating an honest opinion.

    I liked the 1990s. I was 12 in 1990, and 22 in 2000, and started uni in 1996. One positive thing about being a teenager in the 90s was that the culture was generally less materialistic than it is now.
