Re: Over 60s Should Be Encouraged To Downsize

Disagree all you want your story isn't typical just as mine isn't.

Doesn't change the numbers as a whole and it's worth mentioning that the 8 years you have on me potentially counted for an awful lot too.

I'm not specifically referring to me and I even mention that while frustrated I will of course get there in the end which is more than much of our youth is looking at now.

In short you're alright Jack, I will be alright Jack, I'm not glib about the chances my peers and those younger than me have. You and I both have exceptional careers and are both in that top 5% - what about the other 95% Pierre, because there most certainly aren't enough exceptional careers to go around.

If you read also you'll note that I am leaving London, I'm annoyed about having to but am doing it. I'll likely be just down the M62 from you in fact.

It doesn't change that most aren't as lucky as me, or you, and won't have the opportunities available to them. That is the disaster and that is the issue with social mobility.
