I think you will agree that the majority of credit card debt doesn't belong to the old codgers such as myself.

"young people make up a smaller percentage of the population".

Correct, but High street fashion outlets, mobile phone shops, companies selling Designer reading glasses, Spoiler kits for cars, computers and Hi Fi aren't aimed at the over 40's market. Young people DO spend more.

The only ads,I feel that are aimed at me are the ones to bury me!

You never know, maybe they could do a run on spare parts for an ageing
Rover SD1 Vitesse, a glamour granny drinking Horlicks, a bloody good winter rub (that works)for my aches and pains and ones that leave my favourite songbirds alone.

As to the "personal abuse" the best is reserved for the one who started this thread if you care to read from the top down !
