bullseyebarb, Neither one of us has developed any health problems as a result of breathing in all of this junk. I don't discount environmental causes

I am of the opinion that the generations that have followed ours, (and my childhood seems to have followed a similar pattern to yours 'barb' i.e. wipeing your sisters mouth etc), have been brought up in a to sterile environment, never being exposed to small doses of muck means no immunity to large doses, alergict to this that and the other ,during and after WW2 there was nowt to get alergict to as everything was on ration. If cars were only used for essential purposes i.e. work etc and not to pamper kids by running them to school, let them walk and get some fresh air and keep some fat off them. We only live in a tiny island, overpopulated by lazy gas guzzling car owners, some two or three cars to a family, who's biggest problem in life is somewhere to park the damn things!
