In the 70s at the height of the IRA bombing campaign, I went with my older brother to Bristol Temple Meads train station to collect my father who had been on a business trip and we say a suitcase with no-one near it. Brother called the police and we got to witness some dumb idiot get a right dressing down when he came back for his suitcase.

Re: What do we expect?
My late Father bought (had built) a 5 bedroom house in 1960/1961. he was working at CEGB at the time. If he was that age now and doing a similar job there is no way he could afford it. 4 kids and a SAH wife till I was old enough to go to school then she worked as a part time dinner/playground supervisor. Times are a lot different and not for the better.

This . . .
Two young persons of opposite genders, proceeded toward the apex of a natural geologic protuberance. The purpose of their expedition was to procure a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was omniously omitted from the record. As the male person precipitously descended, he consequently sustained severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomy. A similar fate befell the female, who immediately after the male person, performed a self-rotational translation oriented in the same direction having been traversed by the young man.

Re: Stupid millennials
It remind sme of this joke:
he European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

I usually do my shopping twice a month, but because of lemming panic buyers causing rationing of items to 3 I now have to do my shopping 3 times per week in order to get the things I usually bulk buy (to last me 2 weeks plus a couple extra in case I just need a snack rather than a full meal. I have COPD so this has greatly increased the risk to me.
