As a fellow Gen Zer I feel like there is a generational gap. I want to see if I'm trippin or there actually is one.

    Greetings fellow traveler! [I'm an early model X - late sixties].

    Are you taking about the Michael Fish, 'There isn't going to be a hurricane.' blunder? Sevenoakes became Oneoak! 1987 perhaps? I really don't remember that, would you remind me, please?

    I'm talking about the 1970s strikes which cut power to the whole country for sets of three or four days; Ted Heath being reacquainted with the role of the electorate before they all became Tony Blair-esque dopey smiling useless clones in 1992 ish (until we found out about Major-Curry (hehe!)). Going shopping with candles on trolleys, thawing food in the freezers.
