Re: Is it only me that finds this odd?
This is no more than the usual garbage we have come to expect from the BBC; it's just a shame that those thicko's at Broadcasting House did not spent a little more time doing a calculation with the figures to realise this womans entire story is implausible. How can she be paid overtime when she works less than the equivalent of 15 days a month? How come she is only 5,000/- in debt when each month her outgoings are 6,649/- greater than her income? Simple sums which someone at the BBC has failed to do.
She obviously has a second income - such as being on the game, which is the norm rather than the exception in Sub-Saharan Africa. My guess is that the BBC reporter probably got a 100/- job in return for filing this crap. How low have standards fallen!
