Boomers and their bags reveal gen gap.

Here is a light-bulb moment from baby boomer, Gilly Joschke, a teacher at Adelaide’s prestigious Seymour College.

“I did an interesting activity with my year 8 students this week. I asked them to interview a significant woman in their life concerning what style of handbag best suited their personality and what they stuff/collect in their bags. Very interesting differences in the age groups represented. Most over 60’s had a brush or comb plus reading glasses in the bag, 30 somethings had lip gloss and sunnies and under 20’s had food. Now what does that say about each gen?????’’.
(Comments welcome. Meanwhile, my black leather bag carries reading glasses, big diary, wallet, small notebook, hair brush, a few pencils, a gold biro, lipstick, a dozen business cards, and most important, my mobile telephone.

It has two front pockets which click shut and in one I store my keys and in the other I still have a supply of Oli’s painkillers and jellybeans. It is the best bag and weighs a ton to carry around, but everything I need to carry out my life is at my fingertips. )
