[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, what short memories they have.
I think one of the problems of modern life is that everyone seems to believe they have'rights'.(no one ever mentions responsibility)

They think that they should have everything that everyone else has.
Some of the people who say they are poor still expect to smoke, have a beer, a foreign holiday, but in the next breath they tell us that they cannot afford to buy a house.
Well, forgive me while I wipe the tears from my eyes.

During the time we were newly married we did without many things, we did not have new clothes, holidays or any luxury items...just so that we could save for a house.
