Interesting that this seems to have been completely overlooked. Its not a rare thing either, up in Newcastle it happens quite regularly too. Not that this means heterophobia exists as such, but there is definitely discimination going on.

Also wtf at what this thread has turned into? Young dont want to work, older people would never have not worked...seriously?! The jobs market is massively different these days to what it was even 10 years ago. 10 years back I quit my job and quite literally walked into another within 5 minutes. Now hundreds of people apply for every damn job. I am sick to death of seeing about how the youth of today are lazy bastards when its just not true. yeah SOME are, same as SOME back when you 60 year olds were young were also lazy bastards. And don't say this didn't happen either, this is what 'pension credit' is for...yeah, those older people who didn't ****ing work when they were younger. I know this because...shock horror I know a 65 year old who never worked a day in his life. OMGZ...yeah,. these people have always been around. What a revelation. Some really need to stop lapping up the bollocks the sun and the star give out tbh.

Well said Vicky.
Nothing new about SOME people not wanting to work, or never having worked.
We have estates of third generation families that have never wanted to work, apart from the fiddle that is. So the older generation can't get off Scott free.
We have also had mass unemployment and no jobs over the generations as well.
Nothing really changes that much...apart from the ridiculously high house prices.
How on earth the younger ones are expected to buy a house, or even afford the high rent prices is just beyond me.
