Hell no, I know it's a world of difference now TS.
We don't kid ourselves, if we were starting out now there is no way on earth we would end up where we are now in our lifetime.
Not just the ridiculous house prices but also the total lack of job security for so many people.
We had a few blips and worries on the way with the firm hubby works for being taken over three times since if was British Steel but he was fortunate enôugh to keep his job.
I really do worry for the future of our kids generation, something needs to be done re the hosing situation, and I mean a bit more thán whichever government that is in just wringing their hands and sayîng what they intend to do.
