This book is a detailed account of one family’s 100 years on Earth. Every effort has been made to keep it accurate, but our memories are beginning to fade.
Initially our parents were struggling with severe hardships but we children knew nothing of that. Air raids, ration books and one coal fire during the day to heat the house was the norm. We lived through amazingly changing times. Horse and cart and steam engines gave way to electric cars and hydrogen powered trains. Airships were superseded by spitfires and supersonic passenger aircraft. More recently we are alarmed by weaponized, pilotless drones.
The book relates our struggles to realise our dreams and earn a living. During the 1950/60s the economy began to improve, we were able to purchase a telephone, a TV, a refrigerator and an old death trap of a car. We enjoyed rock n roll, jazz, cinema and weekly dances immensely.
Affluence brought with it many changes. There was a decline in Christianity, recreational drugs, crime and other social ills caused an increase in mental illness and homelessness.
In the final chapter the author analyses many controversial subjects such as global warming, capital punishment, crime, law and order and multiculturalism. With the best of intentions he suggests reactionary solutions to make it a better world.
