And my Dad! He was taken by Thatcher in the right to buy days, give the plebs & future private landlords a discount, discourage the local council from ploughing that money back into social housing, then move some working class people (my dad) into the upper working class and gift them out of voting Labour ever again, genius really . Then wait till your kids grow up, liberalise the financial system so much that any or most of the stored value becomes increasingly worthless if not used by the state for nursing home costs because you've lived a fairly healthy life. My cynicism aside in all fairness to my Mum & Dad, life gave them lemons and they are happy, I have resided in the fact that my inheritance will get me a holiday in Vegas and not much else I just worry that my sister thinks there will be a massive pot of gold waiting for her retirement plans in Spain, I feel she is sadly mistaken. Rant over.
