Mimi's post in the wee small hours this morning has struck a chord with several of us, so I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Mimi - I hope you don't mind. 
Feeling as mad as hell at the moment
Apperently us ‘ baby boomers ‘ are now to blame for the housing shortage as we are ‘ are so selfish ‘ .
Is there anything left to blame the over 60s for .
Exuse me while I go and put my hair shirt on and bang my head constantly with a hammer 🔨 as punishment for being born when I was , how inconsiderate of me
Right now Mimi , calm down , you are having your blood pressure measured this morning.
Rant over
My first thoughts were, yes we may have had free Uni education available, but most of us still couldn't afford to go because we needed to get out there and earn wages. My father died when I was 18 and my wages were spent on the mortgage and utility bills!
And let's not forget we were the generation who if we were lucky enough to have a mortgage were at times paying 15% interest!
Poverty in our day wasn't measured by how old our mobile phone was, but basics like having an outdoor toilet and no bathroom.
