Re: Poverty
A good portion of the population are one "Non Payday" away from financial catastrophe, so at this moment in time are not in poverty, but are a blink away. There seems to be more family help nowadays when a crisis rears it's head, maybe people these days are less ashamed to ask for assistance.Re: Poverty
Re: Poverty
If I really wanted a takeaway meal these days then I could afford it. It's only about me. I don't have children to feed. If I want to have a glass of wine, then I can have it. If I smoked then I could probably afford a pack of fags.Re: Poverty

Re: Poverty
As stated in an earlier thread and not wishing to repeat myself.Re: Poverty
I've already posted it on here on another thread, but poverty to me was a wee boy who got himself up for school in the morning and put his school uniform over his pyjamas, whilst his parents lay in a drug induced stupor. Only got a meal at lunchtime because of free school dinners. Was found drowned in the clyde after walking to school and then.......... Was lucky to get a tin of cold custard when he was hungry. Now that to me is poverty. It does still exist, but not to some who maintain it is happening to them.Re: Poverty
We were very poor but we got by without any of the family dying, thank God, so we were lucky I suppose.
