My letter was duly printed and the red mists have since abated to the extent that I now hold the opinion that MOST single mothers in Accrington are indeed giro cashing alcoholics who wear tracksuits permanently and feed their offspring on a diet of Greggs pasties. ( Note the use of most; some of us work and don't possess tracksuits !)
I am also a single mother and hold my hand up to not working at the moment (that will change in time but to be honest I want to raise my twins not have some nursery do this which is why I have not yet returned to work) but I do agree with what you say but to be honest I dont know how they all manage to afford it. I cant afford to go out, its very rare that i go out, all my money goes on the twins. So I do agree with you and didnt take offence but would like it noted that I am also a single mum that doesnt fall into that catagory lol
