"This!!! This whole thread. Is what we want Britain to be when we were 10! Life moves on. Move with it " There’s actually some very important psychological research about people who can’t experience nostalgia or tend to minimalise nostalgia exactly as you just have. Nostalgia is recognised as a near-universal phenomenon and it appears as a fundamentally positive emotion. It is considered one of the socially connected emotional responses - and - exactly as this thread offered and is enjoyed by most other contributors - it strengthens our social bonds, it can combat any feelings of isolation or loneliness, and it enhances our empathy. (“Do we all remember when there were blue salt bags in crisps? etc) If you can’t do nostalgia, can you be properly empathetic..? A preference for current experiences only is often seen as a psychological coping mechanism that actively disengages from memories. It’s often depression, PTSD, psychological trauma etc etc that instigates this. Of course castigating other people’s important sense of nostalgia as you just have suggests a more serious malaise and intolerance. This all tells us so much about you. | |||

They said the white bag is only temporary until they source the blue bag again! It's so "temporary" I see they've now printed that info on the fron of the bag !!.

"For £1 you could buy a packet of crisps, a chocolate bar and a can of fizzy pop Called inflation, even in good times the economy has to rise. Granted it's arbitrary but 2% did seem to work up until lately " You seem so triggered by other men enjoying reminiscing about the past. Is it because we’re not appreciating the socialist nirvana of today, or do you fear nostalgia will turn everyone into Reform voters..? | |||

"Your all fucking weird That’s a bit rich! You said you went to Dubai to inseminate sheep. Why didn’t just go up the Rhondda like the rest of us south Welsh? Or the sight of wellies!!! 🤣 Ah, Wales where men are men and sheep are nervous. 😂 Because the sheep recognized the sound of zips" | |||

Or the sight of wellies!!! 🤣 Ah, Wales where men are men and sheep are nervous. 😂 Because the sheep recognized the sound of zips" Geneticists don't inseminate anything! Because importing food is so expensive, it was a project to try and find if their was a way to ethically breed sheep that could fatten in certain circumstances. As a project it wasn't viable it turned out more expensive than importing at the time. Then I moved on to help study Arabian horse genetics. That's a vanity project by mostly Sheikhs. | |||
