Aren't you glad now that we left the EU?

Neither did you say it was common sense that only applies to those who think it sensible.

I don’t know, really, I suppose it just makes (common) sense to think about something before you say it. Otherwise there is the danger of saying something silly.

So the sense isn’t common at all, then, it is sense that applies specifically to you. :102:

Common in this context means self evident.

Yes, that’s what I took you to mean, and I explained why I thought it wasn’t self evident.

I’m “Glad all over”

It’s a disaster the older generation will die off and the younger ones will be least to cope with the fall out .

We Boomers had to cope with the fallout we inherited.

Life will go on, and most of the time we won’t know if we are better or worse off for leaving the EU. That won’t prevent people from continuing to make claims one way or the other, of course. I do seem to remember, though, that our weather was better before we joined the Common Market, so that, perhaps, could be cause for some optimism. :thinking:

Boomers had the best time ever it’s was a time when jobs were plentiful thriving industries , free education and affordable houses .

You can’t blame him for being a tad bitter.Being both poisoned and shot wouldn’t brighten your spirits.

Who was poisoned and shot ?

Oh yes

Not as I remember it. Jobs were badly paid, mortgages were hard to get compared to now, industries were indeed thriving but also in decline, awful polution from the Victorian industries, and a very low standard of living for Joe Public. Then there was polio, TB, rickets, and more. I was born before the NHS and poverty in many parts was intense. We Boomers didn’t live in a land of milk and honey by any means. If I could be born into the world today I’d jump at the opportunity with both hands

Shot by an English agent.

But that would mean you would have to grasp it with your feet, Todger; may I suggest the other way round. :slightly_smiling_face:

So much for British efficiency. :slightly_frowning_face:

That’s nice.You can’t beat a good conspiracy.

I agree, especially when there are rock solid facts to support it.

Well if we did it, why are we reluctant to take the credit? :thinking:

Probably shame.

True.And most women were chained to the kitchen sink.The NHS started in 1948.I was 2 so did benefit from that.
