Generation Gap

A topic for endless debates and definitions, attributed to great befuddlement across age groups, succinctly demonstrated at a client meeting. 4 people in the room, older, younger and middle ageish.... a name crops up - Heath. The middle ageish go, "Heath?" to make sure they've got it right, to be met by an echo from across the table, a youthful feminine tone that tails off to a mature gruffness "As in Heath ..... Ledger" "Like Hampstead...... Heath". A momentary blankness in brown doe eyes replaced by giggles, even as a quizzical look creeps into the the well worn blue ones... Guess there's Heath, and then there's Heath. And if you can't stand the heath, get out of the kitchen!! (ahem - middle age does have its pitfalls...)
