I was thinking about that this morning and it also occurred to me that many people of working age have moved away from Hyndburn either with their job or to find a job or in search of a better job or just simply emmigrated to areas and countries where there are better prospects for their future and the families' futures which leaves behind the people who for whatever reason cannot or will not move, or do not need to. That puts a different slant on it rather than giving the impression that more and more people don't want to work it's because they DO want to work that they have left here in search of work.
