7 up programme

Cockney moves to Essex then moves to Spain... Talk about stereotypes!
 
Stereotypes?

Not one of them escaped their preordained rut.

Apart from tragic Neil, in a bad way.

It was quite sad really

The taxi driver - sound bloke grafted all of his life - married to a fat women all his life and looks like now living on a holiday park - got caught shagging a couple of times

The posh one with the nice garden - married to a women who has looked the same for 40 years and probably bored him to death - grafted like fuck to get his comfort - produced 2 kids and still working at 63

The women who has been engaged 22 years - like you say - same job forever and been a single parent - 2 kids - nothing too exciting

The poor bugger with cancer - at least he has lived in America / been to Oxford but ended up with just one kid and despite being clearly very clever is severely ill and still working at 63


Left me a bit down to be honest - I was thinking of mine and it would make more interesting viewing.

Age 7 - living in a bed and breakfast after divorce of mum and dad - poverty stricken!
Age 14 - at grammar school - Burnage chav but got a lucky break and watching city a lot
Age 21 - started career in building industry - been married and divorced already
Age 28 - married wife number 2 1 kid - doing ok
Age 35 - divorced to lesbo wife 2 - 2 kids with her and 1 kid- with a near 6ft zaza gobor type blond lunatic
Age 42 - Juggling the above and thinking I hope they come back in 7 years and I am quite boring and nothing has happened.

It is really quite profound looking forward to tonight.

We were shown the original episode when I was at secondary school. I'm some 7/8 years younger. I've watched it ever since.
Neil, I think, has always been the one most were interested in.....at one point I didn't want to know what happened to him, but I was glad he got through it and survived.
I'm not sure I'd want to see it again in 7 years. I know one has died since the last series and the inevitable decline of the others as they get older will be hard to watch.
I know that's life etc but it's bloody hard when you see them when they were young.
 
Age 7-- being raised by Grandparents
Age 14-- at Grammar School
Age 21-- divorced single parent of 3 year old boy. Working in Civil Service
Age 28-- Still working in Civil Service. Looking to buy first house
Age 35-- mortgage and remarried
Age 42-- bored shitless with marriage and all that marriage brings. Discovered Bluemoon.
Age 49-- escaped. Still in Civil Service though, so not entirely.
 
What a waste of air time the scouser was towards the end of tonight’s program. Copped out until 56up and shamelessly said he’d returned to promote his band.
