*L* woohoo i'm younger than someone!

the most likely scenario for people who's houses have been destroyed and do not have family in the uk is that they will emigrate to other areas which are better off. my home in pakistan is about a few hrs drive from there and we do get alot of folk coming in from the hilly regions lookin for work etc and offering to look after ur house whilst ur out of the country

for the ppl who are lucky enough to have relatives here most likely they'll decide to move stock and move to the cities as they have nothign tying them down. too many bad memories
