In this respect the state of the economy is collateral damage, and won't restore without a majority returning to normality. And since older people have more disposable income, but are less likely to return to normal this is likely to be some time away.

Not all old people retire with 'more disposable income'.

Quite a few have to make do with the basic state pension and don't have a couple of Morgans in the garage.


Agreed. I think sometimes it is forgotten that membership of this forum (myself included) comes from a position of priviledge. There are not many in the country that have the financial capability to have a 'toy' worth £15,000+. If I had kids, Morgan ownership would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Edit: I fully realise that the position of priviledge has come from hard work and determinaton. It just that many people are very determined and work hard without great financial reward.
