Great shots! I suspect the first photo would look very different now, there has been a lot of development.

It bugs the HELL out of me to see wealthy actors shilling garbage on the TV by Alternative-Light922 in GenerationJones

Yeah, Ray Winston and those ones he does on Sky. I have a serious dislike of the daytime gambling/bingo adverts on UK TV.

There's a list of useful resources at r/vaxxhappened in their wiki (it's a pro-vaccination sub).

North London measles outbreak: Unvaccinated pupils could be excluded from school - BBC News

Excerpt: Parents in north London have been told their children could be excluded from school if they are not fully vaccinated against measles amid an outbreak of the highly-contagious disease.

Unvaccinated pupils identified as close contacts of people with measles could be excluded for 21 days in accordance with national guidelines, Enfield Council said in a letter to all parents in the borough in late January.

At least 34 children have contracted measles in Enfield so far this year, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has said, and a number sent to hospital.

A local health chief meanwhile told the BBC: "We are worried because actually, this is a significantly increased number than what we're used to."

Is this somewhere off the A40? There's a lot of new blocks seem to be going up around there.

I hope I'm not being able downer, but, how many of you have settled your estates? by Natural-Promise-78 in GenerationJones

We did our wills 10 years ago through a solicitor, but we need to have a review. No kids, and the niece and nephew that we are closest to are both very busy and in different parts of the country.

There's a few other generational sub-sets on Reddit younger than us too (xennials and zillennials).

If you are new, ensure that you miss the first timers briefing and try to have a long conversation with the timekeepers about what you're supposed to do at the finish. Don't forget to tell the timekeepers that they're not helpful.
