I am just old enough to remember the end of the Seventies: power cuts, three-day weeks, constant strikes, price and income controls, inflation.

Worst of all, I remember the sense of despair, the conviction that Britain was finished.

I was 27 years old in 1980 -- the Carter/Reagan election.

I, too, remember the despair, the shame, and the sense that I was living in a country whose best days were past.

Can kids today feel the same way I did 32 years ago?

Or is their memory so warped by the last couple decades that none of it matters anymore?
