I had to pay for my university education. I only got on the housing ladder 2 years ago over the age of 30 due to the cost of renting, cost of living, and average salary v house price ratio being way way higher than my parents' generation, my right to live and work in the EU is being taken away by a majority of people who will be dead in the next 20 years and this over entitled bunch of babies in government are sleep walking us into a clusterf*ck of a situation.

But yeah, my generation have it on a plate and still want more. We haven't had anything easy.

Really liked the bit where he goes to the posh people's dating agency for the privately educated. Almost encourages selective breeding, bordering on eugenics. Might try the app myself, might have to tell a few porkies though.

What have this generation had handed to them that you did not?

Dan has provided quite a conclusive summary of what’s gone the other way...

Multiculturalism, gay pride, Ed Sheeran....

Yes, and he proved my point.......

- I've regularly eaten bread and sugar for tea on Thursdays because there was no money til Father brought his pay packet home on Friday.

- More than one or two new garments a year was a luxury, everything else was hand me downs and jumble sale recycles (except shoes and underwear - Mum was very particular about that - although I have gone to school in mismatched shoes)

- University was for rich people - even with the then student grant - most just had to get out and get a job and earn a wage. (I paid fully for my own degree course in my 30's - not a repay when you earn loan)

- Yes, rents and purchase prices were lower, but mortgages were still near impossible to get for low earners. If you didn't qualify for council housing, you lived with your parents (even after marriage until you could get a deposit together).

- When you did get a mortgage, it was at 6-7% interest rate, and at one point in the 80's hit 14%.... try that on 80's wages!

- Abroad was somewhere you went with Thomas Cook for 2 weeks every year - but it didn't matter too much because it was full of foreigners anyway

and let's not forget the times when outside lavatories were common, central heating was unheard of, running hot water was a luxury for the few and some people were still living in pre-fabs from the war because there was a housing shortage.

I would imagine that Dan's been spared most, if not all of the above hardships of life which were pretty common when I was younger.
