'TV dinner' has a lot to answer for
Thephrase 'TV dinner',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for me personally, conjures images of those foil trays with little indentations for each part of the meal. Looking like prison catering, these were, within the 1960s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an inexplicably glamorous import from America at a time when science and technology was sending men to the moon and finding space age methods to deliver up food which was convenient,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if inedible.
However the TV dinner became the plastic-encased cook-chill ready meal, emerging hotter than Hades from the microwave and looking like a frazzled, puny,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], curdled poor relation of the succulent feast pictured on the box.
So we possess the PC dinner. A minimum of before your pc, there may be interaction and conversation involved. Feasting while Facebooking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is like inviting hundreds of 'friends' to some virtual dinner party. Except you might end up with crumbs in your keyboard.
But many of these PC diners are simply watching television on the computer. And what's their favourite viewing? Come Dine Beside me, says laptop computer.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that this is a symbol of everything that is wrong with our society today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Ideas have great swathes of individuals seated at their computers to consume their additive-crammed supermarket gruel while watching total strangers feasting on peri peri poussins, parmesan polenta with fig tapenade and candy terrine washed down by having an impudent little dessert wine. The resulting dissatisfaction gap really need to keep us awake at night.
And yet that yawning gap is everywhere in life. For several years, property porn was the staple ingredient of TV schedules.
So we sat within our scruffy hovels watching house-hunters with wheelbarrows-full of money wrinkling up their noses in the acreage of the dining room in a converted Cotswolds barn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or quibbling about whether that holiday home near Trieste had a sufficiently glorious view across the Adriatic.
After which there is the rise and rise from the glossy gossip magazine, allowing us to slob around within our pyjamas gazing in a procession of white-teethed, silicone-enhanced, fake-baked slebs falling giggling from night clubs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], giving us a guided tour of their Italian marble kitchen or renewing their wedding vows to some £200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000-a-week footballer in a gilded barge moored at Monte Carlo.
Little wonder that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before the global economy broke, so many of us borrowed to date beyond our means inside a lemming-like make an effort to narrow the gap between reality and the aspirational guff fed to us by the media.
I'm pretty sure this is how the Roman empire declined and fell. The following minute you receive a chap appointing his horse as consul, and another bloke fiddling rather than calling the fire brigade. Yes. the television dinner has a lot to reply to for.
We're pricing an era out of their homes
A THOUGHT-PROVOKING blog by Ian Cowie, the Telegraph's personal finance editor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], states: 'Why it seems sensible to hope for a house price crash'.
Young adults is going to be so weighed down by student debt,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and can have such difficulty saving for a deposit on a house the average age of the first-time buyer will rise to 44.
My eldest son has just turned 20. The thought that I may still be asking him to get his shoes and tidy his bedroom 24 years from now sends a shudder down my spine.
Along with the chance that my younger son,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who will be within the first university intake to cop for £9,000-a-year tuition fees, will discover that his degree costs him a lot more than my first house.
So, yes, let's see a further slump internally prices for the sake of generation x.
Is not happening, obviously. Prices will settle and rise again, because demand for housing to date outstrips supply. One of the gravest accusations we are able to level at governments of each and every political stripe in recent decades is they were so busy using the creative accounting to cover their second homes that they didn't make sure the building of anything like enough affordable housing for the rest of us.
THE latest edition of Opening Times, the Campaign Legitimate Ale's north west magazine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], carries a tub-thumping - or is it pub-thumping? - editorial about what seems to be a category divide in the survival chances of the public house.
All is foaming and hearty within the city centre and the well-heeled suburbs of Didsbury and Chorlton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But a scene of 'pub dereliction and decay' greets us on other major arterial routes in to the city,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
'Are we at night point or orgasm here?' our beard-stroking tankard-waving chums in Camra demand to know. 'Are prosperous pubs and enthusiastic pub-going to become limited to urban centres,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], middle-class suburbs and country dining outlets?'
That's a excellent question. The bringing together of individuals in convivial company is one of the great civilising influences in our society,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet a pub like Coronation Street's Rover's Return probably would not be economically viable now.
That's a shame,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Because generations to come will become familiar with a drinking culture which involves getting bladdered on cut-price supermarket hooch before heading for the hectic vertical drinking establishments of the town and city centres.
It always struck as odd that so few people acquired the fact that while politicians were happily having their mortgages paid on the second homes working in london, they were also supporting policies that drove up the prices of these homes and inflated the housing bubble that is now beggaring the entire country. Still headlines about duck houses and glass decanters are easier to rant about for the short sighted I guess.
The ceaseless drive to purchase more and more and newer and newer which drove much of the economy during the booms of the 80 and 90 and was funded by increasing debt has not ended, however that borrowing cant finance it crime does, a minimum of for that young, according to the police report concerning the driver of crime carried here yesterday.
