You've misinterpreted what bigmac meant
The luxuries you are talking about are not what we had when we were kids. .60s Britain wasn't what it is now. The likes of us have never had it so good.
Neither of my Filipino wives had seen full refrigerators before on a daily basis. .something some on here take for granted.
The Real world is the poverty stricken world. We in the United Kingdom are the lucky ones. The small minority.
Not a day passes when I don't thank my maker for such blessings
