It's amazing how different people can see the same events from different perspectives. You see great damage to the economy - I see me and my working class friends enjoying living standards we could hardly dream about in the late 70's. The difference in general living standards and the wealth of ordinary people now is totally amazing. It's a different world. Oh, of course we always say that we are skint, but it?s all relative. I'm skint because I can't afford a new BMW X5, Merc CL55, SL55. I can't afford to move up to a ?350,000 gaff. Back in Jim Callahan's day - I was skint because I could scrape the ?12.00 a week payment together on my moped!
