Wisdom with Age

[AndrewCrown]

Now all the referendum data is being collated it appears the older voter was more inclined towards exit.

There is significant vitriol flying about how the more aged voter won't have to live with the decision and how they may have shafted the future for the young.

I look at this through a different lens... Anyone over 45 has seen enough 'cycles' of global change to form a view' Cognisant of 1000s of world changing events and seen politicians come and go.... We learn, become wiser and now wince at some of the silly things we did in our youth...

So are the older exit voters actually giving the young an opportunity here?

So what do the younger PH'rs suggest I do when any of my children ( 4) Stepchildren (3) and grandchildren (7 and counting) ask for my advice / assistance in future?

If their cars break down.......problems at work........what uni should they go to.......fixing their house etc etc etc etc


Why you asking me? I am just a decrepit, stupid old fogie so make your own decisions? sort it out for yourself?...oh and BTW any chance of any of the £000000's contributed to your house deposits, cars etc etc etc back?

FWIW I have many many many life experiences as well as a degree and my life won't be affected by IN or OUT very much.but I voted OUT with the true belief it is the right thing for my Kids and grandkids.....

Altruism is a very rare commodity nowadays but some of us still have a least a modicum of it left....some societies value their elders, unfortunately it appears this country now seems to resent them - such a shame.

Forgot to mention....I done equity release on the house, cashed in the pensions, bought a bought and off sailing around the world for a few years before you bang me up in a home coz I got no money left
