This area.. you mean Accrington/Ossy..maybe low income on a national scale but you maybe forget that the minium wage is nationwide.. a cleaner in London earns the same per hour as anywhere else even as the cost of rent/housing is massive compared to Accrington... you peolple do live in some sort of fantasy world were you think everything comes to people that work hard....people do work hard and bring up their kids the best they can but it is not that simple.. Accrington is a good, well educated town compared to lots of other places... you should be proud rather than slag off the not so good.. grumpy old folks comes to mind
