Well I lived in the country for seventeen years and we certainly weren't moneyed. Some weekends we were unable to get money from the bank due to lack of funds and were forced to go round the market at closing time picking up leftover fruit and veg that had been thrown away as unsaleable.We worked damned hard and for some of the time my other half was unemployed. He also set up his own business working from home and would probably have been a lot more successful had any sort of broadband been available in those days.
