There was no option but to go out to work, and even if there was, once her children were at school she'd have gone out grafting anyway.

Yeas you are quite right Rindi, but we live in a different age, and people have been brought up to modern day conditions, not all for the good may I add, but maybe, just maybe there are other areas which could be tackled first. Everybody knows that some young ladies get pregnant on purpose and are quite prepared to stay at home as long as they can get away with it. The same is said about the disabled too, but the genuine disabled would love to be able to work instead of existing on what they get on benefits. Even today I receive nowhere near the money I was earning in 1980, okay I worked long hours, but I loved it and looked forward to work every day. It maybe an idea if we closed our boarders for a while because any one coming here at the moment ain't coming for the work, not when the jobless total is rising every day
