Thread: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!

    Re: Average age of posters appears ‘mature’ to put it politely!

    I'm 48, but the younger posters are some of my favourites. Croesy is decent, I reckon he's in his thirties, delm is a good un, late twenties to early thirties, and city 123, a fine poster who I believe is in university.

    Blowing out candles on birthday cakes may not be as popular in future.

    I was a teen in the 60's/early 70's and wouldn't change it, if only for the music.

    All of the glory hunting younger supporters who jumped on board after 2003 have been frightened away

    70s and 80s - easily, and for all sorts of reasons, but housing is the worst part.
    I thought it was difficult buying property when I was in my twenties, but it's ten times harder these days.
    Back then, I was earning £10k a year, so three times my salary and a 10% deposit (£3k) meant I could buy a cheap house.
    These days, a cheap house is £200k, and even with a 10% deposit, you need to be earning £60k a year to meet the repayments. And what youngster is earning that? Half of them are on minimum hours contracts, where they can work a maximum of 16 hours. How can they expect to get a house, or raise a family?

    I would add that you could pretty much choose the type of work you wanted to, even with minimal qualifications.
    Many are now just happy to be earning, including those with degrees and dirty fat student loans to pay off.

    Scary for kids these days.

    Totally agree.
    I left uni (well, polytechnic) in 1977 , debt-free. By 1979 I had a flat in LONDON for £14000. Can't get a shed for that these days.
