The way things are going even the young could be too old for folk when this is all over.
My generation where / are the lucky generation who had the benefit of full employment (pre Maggie) and a system that allowed free expression and choice.
We also inherited the ethic that allowed and encouraged us to be able to give our leisure time freely to things which we enjoyed.
These assets which I feel enriched our lives are now sadly eroded by greed (mostly corporate) and an extreme collective selfishness - the me me society.
The one certainty I cling to is that due to the technological explosion an enormous amount of our folk heritage is preserved in accessible format - albeit a lot of it in private hand (mea culpa).
We need to ensure that this is not lost once we are gone and the best way to do this is for us all to establish quickly how this can be done.
I will leave it there for now.
