the thing is quite simply, everyones circumstances are different, the newly weds,the single parents etc, must be really struggling wether they are fortunate enough to be in work or not, its a damn site easier fer most folk my age to cut our cloth, have no big mortgage to worry about, not much to save up for etc, ok heating is very expensive n ya need it more as ya get older, but thats about it really. i saw first hand how families struggled back in the 80s as i was involved with helping the miners families, n know how soul destroying these circumstances are. too many do not realise that.
