“Same old, same old. If anyone truly believes things are worse now than in the 1970s they need their heads examining”.
I have not made the points in my post above before on this forum, so hardly the same old same old. The only same old same old on here is your brusque manner in rejecting any alternative opinions to your own.
Are you denying that the opportunities for your financial progression was not started in the 1970s? Mine was via university, my steelworker mates got a career, relatively good pay and a pension.
None of the above for today’s youth, warehouse packers and parcel delivery men.
