I get the biggest laugh that the snowflake generation - doesn't like alternate opinions
and has an entitlement to designer goods / wealth -
when I was a kid , if you got bought a ' Matchbox ' or ' Airfix ' model kit , you were happy for over a week while you made it , or if you read a Comic - and so contented
( I remember ' Action ' and ' Battle Picture Weekly ' from Fleetway - wonderful read )
Yet kids now don't have that - and in my opinion , with the internet and mobile phones have lost far more than they have gained - my biggest laugh , still is 2 dating couples more interested in a phone , than the partner in front of them -
I also remember the 3 day week and the power cuts ( candles were essential ) - you also developed a toughness to mishaps that the current generation don't seem to have
