back in the 80s there wasnt the same media representation as there is today ... back in the 80s all you knew was what was told on the radio, the news and in newspapers .. now 25/30 years later we have the internet and access to more newspapers .. but will say this .. i was 16 in 1983 ...and even i knew what state the country was in .. so you must have led a sheltered life through the 80s then ..

I was much younger then and to be honest probably didnt take a lot of notice but really cant remember so many people as concerned as they are now.

well Negative Equity was a big star back then, if i remember correctly.

Yes i remember that very well, but believe its going to be worse now and believe the effects of this government have only just begun and worse to come. Pay freezes etc and peoples jobs at great risk,which will lead to many loosing their homes, we are far from out of this recession all caused by this Labour government and all the borrowing. Young people cant even get on the property ladder.

It was bad then. It wasn't unusual for people to made redundant 2 or 3 times during the 1980s. I know people have concerns today, but we don't want to see a return to anything like the 1980s.

But you once posted that you'd never noticed any political flyers posted through your door, and therefore hadn't a clue who your councillors are, so perhaps your powers of observation, and recollection, aren't all that hot.

I bet if you asked everyone living in the many towns and cities which used to have manufacturing industries, if life was better today or twenty five years ago, they wouldn't be struggling to give their answers.

No councillor has ever been to my door or sent a flyer only one i have ever received was from Karen Buckley via the Observer.

Was it in the eighties you were trying to lure people into get-rich-quick, pyramid selling schemes, or was that in the nineties?

That perhaps could explain why you didn't take much in, at that time.
