But I noticed there was no-one in there young. They were all old gits.
Does no-one young do any DIY these days?
(Is there anyone young on this newsgroup come to that?)


IMLE the under forties are not great DIY'ers, i believe the latest
acronym is DIFM (do it for me).

From what i can see, under 40's get their dad's and mom's to do it for
them, as with much of the rest of their lives, e.g university funding,
housing deposits and more (the bank of mum and dad and all that).

That said, as a rider, i am sure there are exceptions to that trend but
i haven't personally observed much of it.

Don't forget childcare, which is becoming the norm if the number of old
gits pushing prams is anything to go by. Prams? I mean buggies, the BMWs
of child transport
