Generally though a 'boomer' is usually a description of the kind of person who constantly bangs on about how much better things were in their day, how they got everything through hard work and nothing else and usually says if those youngsters stopped buying coffee and avocados they'd be able to afford a house. Yep spot on kc but you forgot these same youngaters have a takeaway delivered every other night, own in excess of 20 pairs of trainers at £100 a pair and a mobile phone bill of more than £60 a month not forgetting that the phone itself probably cost £500 which must be replaced every time a new model comes out. 😜 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant argue with that. Never understood how people manage not to get run over clutching expensive ( and if from a chain, usually pretty poor quality) coffee in one hand and phone in the other. In japan theyve put markings on the pavement to stop people walking into traffic. I drink one cup of top quality Guatemalan FT coffee every day after my brekky, normally Cortado style. I get approx 24 cups from a bag and I like it strong . So about 20 p a cup or 25 if you count the milk and sugar. Things weren't better I my day though, though I'm still having my day, I grew up during 3 day week ,binmenstrikes, scheduled low power and no power timetables printed in edp etc. The North sea was brown with lumps of crude oil all over the beach and the Broads were a disgusting sewer in the early seventies compared to now. I still dont understand why anyone would pay 3 quid for a corporation coffee of dubious quality and origin. 3 of them would get you a 21g Westin solvpilen in any one of a range of colours.

paddycanary 535 Posted May 28, 2020 Are boomers not also people paid to get excited and sing the lyrics to new material at concerts to whip up an atmosphere and make people feel like they're sharing in a great night, ergo band sells more albums and gains publicity? I wonder does this still go on in the internet age? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
