It's always been great!

As a child from the 70's, I remember playing outside...the long hot summers...football....playing with my Sindy etc.

Nice food...lots of pop...cool programmes and TV...and some fantastic music...

Yet, we had strikes...winter of discontent...riots...3 channels on the TV....rubbish not always collected etc.

So, what I'm saying is that during childhood we had that blinkered thinking...that sheer enjoyment...until politics and the big, wide world entered it all and made us all grown up.

I'm sure, some 28-29 years ago, you were a happy little child...enjoying himself without a care in the world.

That was great to you.

@SammyJo and that soely aiming to improve ones happiness while ignoring others is more likely to isolate yourself and create a sense of loneliness

If you are referring to "Great Britain", this is simply a geographical term to distinguish the island of Britain from the smaller territory of Brittany (also known as Britain in the middle ages).

If you are generally jaded with life, try living in another country for a bit of perspective 🙂

@Guitarman123 You asked when was the UK great. I think it's pretty great right now. I say that with the benefit of dual citizenship and first hand experience of living in East Europe towards the end of the Cold War.

@Guitarman123 See, there are some good moments. Sometimes you have to make them happen though.

In the year ending 30 June 2025, overseas migration contributed a net gain of 306,000 people to Australia's population.

Of that 306,000, 39% were from the UK
