After suggesting that it is white middle aged men my research suggested that older people are generally happier including the positivity effect -  age-related trend that favors positive over negative stimuli in cognitive processing. Relative to their younger counterparts, older people attend to and remember more positive than negative information.  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459016/

My impression was based on the angry "gammons" that were often sited in the Brexit and post Brexit debate, and some of the current campaigners such as Howard Cox, and those that seem to be in front of the camera where there is any anti-car measures (subject for numerous other threads).  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammon_(insult)
 
Well at least my preconceptions have been challenged, and on reflection I know far more happier older people than grumpy.
 
Gen Z would seem to have the most to be grumpy about, student loans, cost of housing and the unstable world they are inheriting, but are getting bad press at the moment which may be unwarranted.

    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback
