T he findings suggest a generation is heading for disappointment - as a number of factors continue to push home ownership out of reach. If home ownership remains a top priority, can nothing reverse the trend which is making it so much harder for aspiring families to achieve? Interest rates were high but the mortgage was readily obtainable. We wanted to put our roots down, as our children do today.
They have a bigger deposit to save and debts to clear. They were both teachers, and modestly paid, yet they bought a three-bed semi in Essex and had paid off the mortgage by the time I went to university. S hown here is the national average and also the most and least affordable regions today: the North, and Greater London.
Nationally, the ratio currently shows buyers almost as stretched as at the peak of the housing market in At that point the ratio reached its all-time high of 5. Today it is at 5. In London, affordability has deteriorated most startlingly, with first-time properties now costing more than 10 times an average wage.
In the North the price-to-earnings ratio is 3. One became her boyfriend, one lived in the windowless airing cupboard, sleeping on the floor on a duvet. I moved frequently, sharing with friends and my boyfriend, mostly just him and me — somehow managing not to let my parents know. In those days, we had appalling racism, homophobia, slums, the Gorbals, Rachmanism , Cathy Come Home , the family squatting movement; but landlords and letting agents were not generally able to be as staggeringly greedy as they are now.
And so I could save up, and with money left to me by an auntie, and more from my dad, I was able to buy a shared house in But I was one of the lucky ones even then. Not everyone had a dead auntie and a father who could afford to help. Now, what I paid for that whole house would barely be enough for a deposit. Life seemed much easier then.

The suburbs, where my friends and I lived, were stultifyingly dull, we thought. Everything closed on Sundays, Ruislip High Street was stone dead, our parents totally square, and art school was the perfect escape. No more twinsets and blow-waves. We wore elephant cords, striped Madras cotton bedspread dresses and tights in thrilling new colours like purple and ochre. Several pop stars emerged from Ealing art school, the Stones were beginning to play in a club up the road, and sex and drugs was going on like mad, although not for me. I was rather a repressed late developer, and horribly self-conscious, with my long nose and pinhead, which made my time at art school, surrounded by boys, fairly tortuous.
I went on to music school, then a teacher training college. All free. What does Rhiannon do? But, because I need to see what the young do now, we go out together to meet three of her girlfriends in a small local bar. They chatter wittily and robustly about all these horrors. I was very lucky: I did internships while I was at college, used my student loan, worked on and off through university, waitressing. At least Rhiannon is doing what she always wanted to do: writing.
She had an ambition and a plan, and she stuck to it. Luckily, I could afford to diddle around, changing my mind, doing what I fancied: art, music, markets, part-time teaching, screen-printing, bits of this and that. Debbie works in customer services, dealing with complaints. I suspect that she glares at her mobile day and night, texting, diddling with apps or whatever, never really off duty.
Baby Boomers
Luckily we never had to cope with this technology or use all this meaningless jargon: personal development plans, aims and objectives, fulfilling goals, assessments. This lot are forever being marked, graded and tested. They even have to assess themselves. My generation seemed to have far fewer rules and regulations. I may be looking back through rosy glasses, but the country seemed to us to be brightening up — we saw opportunities and improvements ahead.
The s and 60s had their downside. I suspect that art school was exceptional — a colourful, liberal bubble in the middle of a drab, rather suffocating and mad world that we thought was about to be blown to hell. Looking at my own daughter and Rhiannon, and their girl friends now, they seem more physically confident and braver. John Maynard Keynes observed that by the time politicians achieve power, they tend to remain intellectually trapped in the assumptions and arguments they were exposed to in their formative period many years earlier.
So, as a child of , born when Clement Attlee was still in No 10 and King George VI still reigned, I think that three things mainly formed me as a historian. Second, a strong reaction against the history I was taught at Oxford in the early s, in particular the almost entire absence of social history. In short, I wanted to write an intimate history of Britain in these years, the s to the s. Together they are trying to recover the history of subjectivity, for in doing so they uncover intention, motivation and values that might be invisible if only external behaviours the traditional subject of history are traced.

They are trying to write history from the inside out. Emotional style, however, is also an important marker of class identity. Now, if it is true that postwar Britain was a place where much that was emotionally and psychologically significant largely went unspoken, the methodological implications are daunting.

But is it true? Certainly that would be my instinctive assumption, partly based on my memories, and I imagine it might well be yours, too. But to test that assumption, let me briefly give you the results of a bit of ferreting around. Serious friction is handled by avoiding contact and by emphasising getting along together rather than any more positive harmony in the marriage relationship; a minor everyday friction is rarely allowed to rise to the level of conscious expression.
Oral history has so far largely confirmed that marital picture. Elizabeth Roberts, based on her extensive interviews in the working-class north-west, finds little or no evidence of companionate marriages before the s; while as for sex specifically, Kate Fisher writes this on the basis of her pioneering interviews with men and women born in the first quarter of the century: Many couples did not talk openly about sexual matters, and issues of childbearing and family limitation skirted very close to these sensitive areas.
Many women chose to keep discussion unspecific, leaving the nitty-gritty details of exactly what birth control was used and what method was chosen to their husbands. Only in cases where the urgency of restricting births increased was explicit planning or debate necessary. Was there any greater communication between parents and children?

Probably not. Mothers express horror at the idea of telling their daughters even about menstruation. Nevertheless, it is possible that the larger picture was starting to change. She disdained feminism, but objected, too, to what she saw as the silences about family problems, the constraints of propriety that made people feel alone. In our dinner parties, the conversation is either non-existent or aggressive… My husband gets up at 3am to do the buying.
He is completely immersed in his work and is not a man to waste words.
