are you that old, thought you were younger 🙂 only people left supporting tory corruption and now state-organised criminal gangs are over 65 i.e. yesterdays people, not tomorrows. Think this forum is a prime example 😲

I won't live for another generation.

Depends how you define a generation - some reckon four years is a generation.

Last January my MSP Michael Russell told me in an email he considered that a generation could be as a short as four years. He then asked me how long i thought that a generation was. I replied that the minimum by law in Scptland could be just over 16 years as the minimum legal age for marriage in Scotland is 16 years old but in my opinion it was between 20 and 25 years.
Michael Russell did not reply to my email!!!

Again you're completely wrong.

A generation is defined as all of the people born and living at about the same time. So, although I may not think this is how I would define a generation, to say that someone born in 2000 was born about the same time as someone born in 2014 is simply wrong.

If someone chooses to use four years as the rough measure of the length of a generation there is nothing anyone can do to challenge that opinion. Not even when a different opinion has been formed by a pig headed old Tory.

Hi Deeranged. You seem to be an expert on every topic discussed on this forum so how long do you consider a generation to be.

I'm no expert. All I know is that you mostly post pish.

I have no clear idea of what I consider to be a generation however for me four years is a bit short. Your suggested 16 years, based on some strange and outdated notion surrounding legal age of consent, is possibly nearer to where I'd like to be. 25 years is way too much.

There is no legal definition of a generation in Scots law or that of the rest of the UK. The convention is to fall back on previous legal precedents for definition. The best known example of a generation being set on a referendum is through the Good Friday Agreement which defines a generation as 7 years to allow for reunification referendums after this time period elapses.

Much closer to the view of Mr Russel than to Mr Tott however who both sharing personal opinions that would be hard to substantiate in a legal setting.
