Changes for the worse that have happened in my lifetime

...can be given the same choice - you don't like it, don't apply to work there.

I am never going to agree on anything smoking related as I consider it horrible to say the least.

Essentially the slow-death of the entire, unsustainable neo-liberal capitalist consumptive economic / social model (and far more importantly the associated destruction and misery this will cause).

Looks like you timed your birth quite well as it's all downhill from here!

I hate the over reliance on credit. Money is too easy to borrow.
Too many people have new cars on loans. Holidays on credit card and mortgages that are unaffordable.
There could be a lot of financial pain in the next 12 months and interest rates are almost zero and have been too low for a decade. They need to be about 5%.

Reality TV being used as a vehicle to propel mediocre narcissists into the public consciousness
"Journalism" being about chasing sensationalist ratings and/or fuelling corporate agendas when it's supposed to be about serious, quiet investigation and holding power to account

A motorway being built through the fields I used to run around like a Glaswegian version of the Little House on the Prairie intro
"Progress" being measured as having a McDonald's, a KFC and a massive shopping centre within walking distance
The total dominance of car culture, the loss of streets as commons, leading to the death of the game of kerbie

The health and safety executive. Everyone should be allowed to climb as well as fall out of trees with impunity.

You still can in a non work environment.

FFS, don’t give him ideas!

Loan interest rates are still around 4% above B of E base rate so the the rich are still making money.

The depedance on people spending on credit and buying whaht they want rather than what they need just to create jobs.

Opal Fruits became Starburst

The way everything has to be somebody else's fault and therefore someone's due 'financial compensation'... thanks ambulance chasers.

Opal Fruits became Starburst

"Starburst" is a better name than "Vauxhall Fruits"

The rise of the hate filled, racist, right wing comic the daily mail.

See also: the rapid decline of the Telegraph from a fairly stolid broadsheet (that could be relied upon for a sensible right wing view to contrast my own lefty leanings) to demented spittle-flecked Boris fanzine.
