"Its funny how different generations have their own special milestones, their shared memories and events. I wouldn't expect anyone young now to know about the test card at the end of TV each night at midnight for example, although us 'Grandparents' all saw it. These shared memories are the cornflour that binds the individuals from one particular era as opposed to another. Each generation has its own culture. Sometimes these cultures feed into each other and sometimes they seem completely separate. A recent discussion I had with a youngster revolved around football. More specifically it was about famous goals and I mentioned Maradona's infamous one, the Hand of God. My young colleague, full of tales of Rinaldo and Neymar, had never heard of it and I realised that it was a generational thing and that such collective experiences are almost mutually exclusive and unknown to subsequent generations…" Main page projectswordtoys.blogspot.com Amicalement Armand

I don't recall which program I was watching, but on TV the other day I was surprised to see someone under the age of thirty wearing a tee-shirt emblazoned with a TV test pattern. Has the image become a 'cool' youth culture motif? |

Back at football. I remember the grainy black and white images of Pele in the '62 world cup running rings around all and sundry. Of him doing his somersaulting overhead spin kick and goal trick… Try explaining that to youngsters and all I got was blank looks and Labrador in the headlights type stares. It's true, the past is a different country, they do things different there. |
