Generations

[keithlbw]

People born before 1946 were called The Silent and powerful generation.
- People born between 1946 and 1964 are called The Baby Boomers.
- People born between 1965 and 1979 are called Generation X.
- And people born between 1980 and 2010 are called Generation Y.


Why do we call the last group Generation Y?

Y should I get a job?
Y should I leave home and find my own place?
Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y should I clean my room?
Y should I wash and iron my own clothes?
Y should I buy any food?

Yes, very apt.

Topical keith, but it's doesn't apply to the whole generation - I know so many youngsters who I work with who don't take the pee, who work hard and have ambition.
(I was appalled on that TV prog last night that a young woman of 20ish never ever flushed the toilet at home, mind you - that was taking the pee-taking to excess, it was gross!)
