No they don’t, I invested into my own private pension for my future, but true to form Liebour are trying to get their grubby little hands on it to give it to the lazy parasites who can’t be bothered to work. I thick you should be telling your generation to sharpen up as most of them don’t want to work and go out of their way to avoid it | |||

"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. | |||
