I always hear that people say that people were happier & nicer in the 80s this could have truth to it people were more optimistic back then

I think Ive posted this before. The only time the UK has felt postive and optimistic in my lifetime was the early 1960s before Heath got in. We are famously the centre of the pop music revolution, but also fashion, and we still made cars, and even ships, and even semiconductors, and even had our own nuclear weapons - note to all the US decides weather or not we launch our tridents - they are not ours - they belong to trump and he is fast looking like our enemies friend - so where does that leave us ??? It wasnt just winning the World Cup, it was in part the lead the US took under Kennedy - and it wasnt like the nuclear war didnt nearly happen but ti was that the human race had a big idea to work toward - the moon - and it was in everyones psyche I'm sure. It didnt matter that escaped nazis and gun ho yankies were doing it - it was the boldest thing man had ever attempted and it inspired, even a tired war torn Britain to believe. Then of course there were miniskirts, minis, and the real beginning of consumer electornics - remember in the 50s everyone kept food in pantries and used dollys to rinse their clothes. Life go better. Does it now ??
