I think the majority of the oldies were brought up to work, not working for a living was never then an option or even on the horizon. On approaching school leaving, it never entered anyone's head that they would do anything other than get a job and earn our keep. Now we seem to have changed to a society where there is a useful backstop position of doing nothing - completely unheard of in my day. You went out and
had to get some sort of job.
Now they are desperately short of man power, welcoming people from eastern EU to fill positions and our home grown are allowed to sit on their backsides and watch TV. Make 'em work.
