Personally I'd rather stay in the EU and the benefits that come with it.

Allow me to explain the divorce bill in footballing terms that you may understand. When Everton appointed Koeman as manager they gave him a 4 year contract because they were looking to the future. When Everton decided to part company with Koeman they were obliged to make a substantial payment to Koeman as compensation for the future commitments that would no longer be required. Everton paid the 'divorce bill' and they parted ways. Same with the EU and UK.

Which benefits are these then.....

Your football terms analysis perfectly sums up why you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.....

Hahahaha......handed on a plate......this from a generation spoilt rotten by those same baby boomers. The generation who fought in WW2 gave us life and independence. The generation that followed rebuilt the country and the economy. The moaning crying generation have yet to do anything of note except complain about us leaving the EU. Well don’t worry about it, once we’ve gone you can make your own decisions and rejoin the EU if you want, though I very much doubt you will.....

The moaning crying generation were brought up in the 2008 recession; the biggest since the great depression, have seen wages stagnate since the 80's, house prices sky rocket while wages stay the same (third of millennials expected to rent for the rest our lives and not expected to afford a home), and have seen wealth inequality and the gap between the 1% and everyone else go up and up since the damaging policies of Thatcher and Reagan mixed with globalisation

I guess you didn't benefit from a free university education and a mega cheap house? Imagine being saddled with, at the very least a £20,000 student loan debt and then having to get a deposit together for a house.

I wonder why they're a "moaning crying generation"?!

Mega cheap house? At 15% mortgage interest rate under Thatcher. And did we not have to cobble together deposits decades ago?

Wake up and smell the coffee, mate, and stop taking the piss! Or are you just deluded...?

Houses were way more affordable back then mate, and well you know it. In those days, a mortgage was calculated as a muliple of your salary. £15000 salary meant a mortgage of £45000 was obtainable.

Average salary is now circa £30000 ish iirc, so that would have got you a £90000 mortgage. Not that many houses on the market for that these days.

Take your point on higher interest rates though, even if 15% was only for a day or 2.

It was definitely easier though wasn’t it ? Just looking at it fairly , don’t get me wrong interest rates were insane compared to now but I bought my first house at 21 and I didn’t have a fantastic job at that stage . Compare the price of houses now to the wages and deposit required i think it's fair to say I don’t think many in their twenties could do it when then, let’s face it , i wasn’t unusual.
 
roydo & Harry,

It's all very well saying what you have said in your posts, but if you knew the housing & mortgage market back then (as perhaps you did have personal experience of it), and the housing market now, it is chalk & cheese.

No Government assistance back then; no 'half share buying (or whatever it is called) back then. How do I know all these present schemes? My daughter is in the process of buying a house, and I have been involved in reading through everything for her.

So for anyone to pillory those of us who went through buying a house and raising a family decades ago, and to rip the piss out of us, frankly it makes me sick to think they could be so small-minded...

And roydo, I wish I was on a £15,000 salary back in 1975...

Was just referencing how mortgages were arranged/affordability of houses back in the day. Cant remember what I was on when I bought my first flat, but it was about £22000. (the flat, not my income).
