When I was a kid we cut peat, and that kept us warm all winter... never had to rely on anyone or anything for that. People got too soft with the oil stoves! (LMAO!!! I sound like....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo[/video]]YouTube - Monty Python - Four Yorkshiremen )

Do you know when I went to see the daughters proper flat share. It was fecking huge. She had the bedroom with the bathroom en-suite. The kitchen was so big you could have fitted my living room in it. I thought students were supposed to live in abject poverty. Mind she was working to pay the rent.
