Re: Baby boomers

I'm just surprised that so few of the children born in 1945/46 wern't given the name "Burtonwood "

(from what my late Mother used to say it seems it was a very popular place for young ladies from the north-west who liked to fraternize with the US troops stationed in the UK prior to the D-Day invasion )
:eek: :eek:

Well, looks like there isn't a definitive period - see this one

What happened the year you were born?

Re: Baby boomers

I always thought that baby boomers were babies born soon after the war ended when the men had come back home.The war ended in 1945 so that would make a baby boomer born in 1946.How do they work out that someone born in 1964 can be a baby boomer?That's 9 years after the war finished.:confused:

Lol,you're right actually,it wasn't,but that mistake is particularly bad! I'm shaming here:o.On a public forum too! Anyway,1964 is a long time after the war finished,19 years? Is that right?:o:o.

Booming yes, but having been born in 1937, can't claim to be a true baby boomer, not matter how loud he booms about it.:D

Re: Baby boomers

I was born in 1943 so I was a war baby, pre-boom. My eldest child was born in 1964 and I can't equate her with being a baby boomer. I thought they were 1946 to 1956.
