I read the article and thought it was a light sentence.

Scroll down to the comments after reading it and you’ll see I wasn’t the only one.

I don't agree at all that because someone has called you a loon that another forum member should be allowed to use language that is derived from the word ******. Its classic two wrongs dont make a right territory!

Regarding the over 60s, most of them are retiring or due to retire and have a limited shelf life. If we are going to complain that the young shouldn't get a vote or the left is comprised of only students wanting free stuff then I think it should go both ways. But the current generation of sixty plussers, in my experience are gripping on to nostalgia and a time that they are used to. I work in catering and currently in have to allow people to work in pounds and ounces because some simply refuse to learn the metric system. A huge percentage of them can't use i pads and they just haven't moved with the times. I know there are some forward thinkers out there and i am generalising but so was Charlie when he made his claims.

The over sixties have paid their due sonny, in coin and in blood, all this agism about they don't understand this, and they don't like iPads! I mean, WTF are you on? You've screams about people who who don't pay enough tax bit idolise some of the worst offenders, Amazon, Apple, Starbucks! Workers rights huh? What about the rights of the workers who put those iPads together? In conditions so bad some of the factories have netting round them to catch the jumpers? Just remember that all these bright young things will be over sixty one day, then what? You really are a snide individual aren't you. Part of the "where's my share" whiney generation.

Please stop attributing things to me that aren't true. I don't idolise some of the worst offenders. I don't idolise any big business really. Going back to your previous post, imperial measurements were outlawed as a unit of sale years ago, but metric came about in the seventies - 40 years ago. That's where my issue is, yet you think I should still be able to use the old ways rather than you dinosaurs moving with the times. I feel the same about people who refuse to learn computers and yes ipads too.

You can't say the over sixties have all paid their dues anymore than you can say all youngsters haven't got a clue. You're just a bitter and twisted old man angry at the world because its changed and you haven't. Some of the posters on here have given a sensible and reasoned response to my original post and for that I thank them. Biker1, X2, andy capp and the others. Your response sums up everything that is wrong with your generation, but I do accept following this discussion that you are but 1 man, and even though you want to, do not speak for your entire age group. Some of them are alright.

Buy the products though I bet! I use metric all the time even started doing binary and everything, Yes I think a working knowledge of the old units should be taught, its part of our history. Its funny how you seem to deride someone for not knowing about computers on an internet forum Shows your depth of understanding really, I was building my own desktops before you were out of school. Me? Bitter? not me. I'm well made up, Range Rover, Nice boat, three weeks in the Maldives last year, gardener at the house, good company with an excellent profit and loss last year. Its you railing about how wrong everything is, it's you being bitter and twisted not me, just because I don't share your rose tinted vision of a brave new year doesn't mean I'm wrong.

No place for successful people in this country. JC will make sure of it. I was listening to a conversation the other day. A young man was renting a place with his girlfriend. They have a baby. He is not paying the rent and putting the money aside and waiting to get evicted as because he has a baby he knows the Council are obliged to find accomodation once he is evicted. Marvellous. Good to know the 4k in tax I paid this month is helping out.
