Ok so I’m on the late end of the boomers. Born in 60 had a great life growing up freedom, out all day playing ball or riding bikes until the street lights came on. Always had great beef from local ranchers or something in the freezer from hunting and fishing trips. In school I was taught the trades, wood, metal and drafting classes were taught that I still use to this day. At school could grab ass and be flirty with the girls and not be admonished for it. School fights came with fists not guns and knives. Oh how I wish we could go back to those days. Wishful thinking I guess.

Happy days.
Bunking off school to go on long walks to watch planes at the airport or go playing snooker.
A few bags of chips with bread and butter for lunch shared with your mates.
No phones, no distractions, no regulations, no government, no non Europeans.
Everything was a bit shit, but most people were happy.
Then government got bigger and bolder and here we are, the country is barely recognisable.
