Pros and cons

I’ve been thinking I saw Tom Robinson on Channel 5 in that 70’s programme. He said that there has never been a better time to live than now. I don’t know whether he’s right or not. By the way shouldn’t he bring out a new single ‘Sing if you used to be gay’? A few thoughts passed through my head. We used to have Concorde and now we haven’t. I can go into Manchester and buy a warm, fashionable winter coat for less than £15. Big brother is always watching and monitoring me. I can fly to Spain for less than it costs to go to London. Wheelchair users can zoom round Tesco and lots of other places. At the weekend we saw a ‘do it yourself kit’ for filling teeth for those who can’t find a dentist. Market St in town has lots of empty stores. My local shops consist of 6 Indian takeaways in a row with Natalie the hairdresser in the middle. If I go into hospital for a minor operation there’s a chance I might catch MRSA and not survive. I am still astonished at how fabulous the INTERNET is and how much I love it My student neighbours are broke, tired, overworked and stressed out. I had a grant and a social life. I’m not coming to conclusions. I don’t even want to. I’m one of the lucky ones with a pension and good health. I’ve lots to look back on and lots to look forward to. KAZ
