Now you know just why I prefered the 50/60s.-----
A much better country. A much better society. A better 'class' of people, not wanting to be involved with criminal activities. --Trust! Respect! Disapline! Truth!
People were more happy -- something is terribly wrong!!

My mother brought 4 of us up, having lost our father in the war. Mother had to work and we all had to help were possible. All was taken in our stride, with no complaints.
perhaps that is why, my first wife and i worked and worked to ensure there would be less/no problems ??
What a terrible shame that some young people cannot work to provide for their future?

Many,many people work for their future Phoenix,its just that they cant keep up with the costs of their pensions and the creaming it all off,I think a lot of them are buying property abroad for that reason so they have a sort of nest egg and its not taxable with their pensions.For the ones that dont work it wont make any difference will it ?
but for the poor souls tied up with pensions they will pay tax till the day they die............wish i knew then what I know now !!! dont you ?

i an anwer aftab from Rawalpindi - Pakistan, i have just joined this forum most probably a week or two, i am just going through all the things and in fact not used to about this, but seeing your quote, i was much impressed about it, no doubt now a days people are not taking the things in life in a right prospective, secondly my dear much depends on mother, you are a lucky that a wise and loving mother, mother is like a tree in desert, every one of us who passed their young age when looks towards our generation we feel that they are not doing right, many things to write and i will also write our memories
regards

We learnt from our parent/s about the hard times they had.
The main Idea of our's, was to try to ensure that we brought our children up, with respect for othere's and to Build for the future, in as far as they could see??
In this last Decade,so much has changed and the future does not look rosy, for anyone ??

Phoenix did the future look rosy for the people after WW I or WW II? I think there were always better and less better times.
My grandmother always told me people were poor like church mice after WW I and children often even didn't have shoes.

Hi Teri, Cannot speak for People after WW1. but I do believe that Life was so bad, that people did actually have to go without Shoes and decent clothes and without doubt, Food and Water at times??m --- After WW2 I do recall, clothes became a problem to get hold of -- Our Mother's must have worked Miracles, to take so much care of us - Bless Them!! -- but!! We did 'survive' The Country and The People!! -- The greatest Time!! Is in re building and starting to live again -- To be a Survivor!!
