At what point are we 'old'?

[Harry Bloomfield]

Au contraire, I stopped being selfish.

The youngsters bleat on about the problem, the solutions are way beyond their pay grade.

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

I think thats enough for now.

Well said!

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Another example of an old man prejudiced against the young.

Or perhaps an honest assessment..

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Nonsense.

You obviously have never listened to them.

I see loads of people walking their dogs around my village, wearing headphones - I think why can’t you enjoy your surroundings, birds singing, the changing season etc etc. I enjoy walking the dog it’s a time to soak in this stuff.

It's nice to just see anyone walking, with or without a dog, but not on a phone to someone - telling the other person every tiny detail of their lives, from where they are, to what the had for breakfast.

Correct. Straight from the Daily Wail... 'How To Be A Miserable Crochety Old Duffer'.

More nonsense.

FFS, yes there is. There"s a bit more to life than sending each other photos of your breakfast. It is as though technology has taken away the ability to to have intelligent face to face conversations with others, and the simple enjoyment of the world we live in

The majority of youngsters are not MPs or business leaders.

Just like the majority of oldies

Some of whom boast that they don't care.

The whole idea that population is such a problem is outdated.

In a pub quiz recently, they asked which US state had the highest population. I knew the answer because I had been looking at how overpopulated London is, and that there are only about a dozen states in the US with a higher population than London.

That overpopulation is a problem in some places.
