Sixteen Or Eighteen
... citizens of my vintage may recall that, until 1969, one had to've attained the age of 21 before being allowed to vote in a UK Parliamentary Election.
Then, from 1970 onwards, young people became eligible to do so at eighteen.
................................................................ continued to be the case nationwide ... ... unless, of course, one happened to live in Scotland where - during the vote on Scottish Independence - even younger folks were given the opportunity to have their voices heard at the tender age of sixteen.
Personally, I thought this was a bit too early.
But ... many would argue, youngsters grow up much more quickly these days.
So, what do you ones think?
