I think anyone over 40 has had a sneeking suspicion that things were too good to be true - everyone jetting about wherever and whenever, two car families, gadgets galore and endless ready meals.The bubble had to burst.
So far I've survived; The Space Race, Nuclear Armegeddon, Overpopulation, Drought, Acid Rain, Fuel Shock, AIDS, Bird Flu, Global Warming, a couple of recessions, The Millenium Bug, Meteorites, Obese Knife Wielding Hoodies.....probably forgot a few.
It's not keeping me up at night.
