Reasons to be Cheerful

[scawsby steve]

Twist & Shout SS, you're doing it again.  You're just plain wrong trying to make out that giving examples of conditions that existed in the 60s is knocking it.  You're being f**king ridiculous.

Examples of conditions? Don't you mean examples of bad conditions, as BST was alluding to? Either you're twisting words, or you don't understand semantics. I think the latter is the most likely, if you can't see that some people on here have knocked the 60s.

I'd give this up if I were you, because you're starting to embarrass yourself.

I don't embarrass easily Steve.  I'll bring you back to the discussion we were having when the outside toilets and tin baths were mentioned.  It was about how living conditions today are incomparably different to back in the sixties for the common man.  You was trying to say that what we have now you had back then.  I think I know who should be embarrassed in this conversation.

What we have now? I wasn't talking about technology, I was talking about colour TV, double glazing, and central heating, all of which were available in the late 60s; go check.

The problem here is that you keep mentioning your part in the conversation, when the biggest criticisms came from BST, who mentioned things like racism and intolerance; if they're not criticisms, then the pair of you clearly have a problem with semantics.

That's my explanation, and it's honest, and it's my last word on the subject.
