    I think 2012 would be best for the UK.

    It’s all been aggressively down hill since the olympics.

      I like the theory that the Mayans were absolutely correct: the world does end on 21 December 2012.

      But “the world ending” doesn’t just happen all at once like flipping the switch of existence.

      No, it ends by falling apart, disintegrating, devolving into chaos. Slowly at first, but compounding in speed and severity. Still, fast by “end of the world” standards may very well be “almost imperceptibly slow at first” to the human frame of reference.

      In short: the world started to end right when the Mayans said it would. We’re just starting to realize it now.

        I’m right there with you. The last decade can be easily described as “things falling apart”

        I believe I’m going to live far longer than anyone born before 2012, or I’m going to die after society collapses

      I was going to suggest 1979 but the problem with the UK is it’s hard to find a date when it wasn’t already shite.
