Robert G Mugabe - probably best if you didn't play the old 'in my generation' card. Your generation has pretty much made the world bankrupt
I think this must rate as one of the most crass comments I have seen recently. Financial incompetence and incontinence knows no generational boundaries. If you wish to lay the blame at a particular human group you need look no further than the political left on both sides of the pond. Former US president Clinton was instrumental in cajoling the US banks to offer the sub-prime mortgages which were a major catalyst to the first round of crises. Here, Gordon Brown looked the other way when our own banks were doing things they ought not to do and he spent tomorrow's tax takings yesterday, like a drunk on boat-race night. No, it's not generational. It's political.
