  Ah yes Ron it was all different then. Houses were available to all and there were plenty of jobs. So many jobs that there werent enough people to fill them, I suspect looking back now with the benefits of hindsight, thats exactly what led to the massive influx in immigration in the end.
  
  Charles and Diana had a fairy tale wedding its true, that girl absolutely captured the worlds media on a massive scale, I suspect her popularity was unprecedented in recent times. Unlikely to be surpassed this time around. At her funeral the need for extraordinary shrill grief was there for all to see...filling some empty need in people I guess. It was a perplexing show of the surreal.
  
  Youre right no chance of a mortgage, although re the university situation...
  there wasnt a cats chance in hell for ordinary people getting into university then either. This all changed with the arrival...and ok Im bringing politics into it...with the arrival of New Labour whose policy was to get everyone into university. We now alas are in danger of going back to elitism in terms of universities. Pity.
