I used to steal turnips off a farmers field. I never thought I was down. I probably was. Fiddled the meter in a cottage in the middle of nowhere. You can't forget that 
That is feck all compared to what some legitimate people are going through now. Nada.

A lot of us have struggled at some point Velvet The thing is the rhetoric nowadays tends to blame the unemployed, disabled, immigrants for everything. People believe this, rather than blame the successive government's of their failings over many years. There is very little empathy in society today, and I find that sad.
I might be more advanced than that Dame
Hope all is good me chum

I'll add on to that. There was a shortcut thru the woods - probs knocked 2 miles out. I hitched to a caravan site on the off chance and got a menial job.
Better than nothing.

As a child, I remember my eldest brother presenting me with 'cream of pea soup' (which was the 'juice/water' from a 'can of peas' mixed with 'milk')! When (at the same time) my 'next elder brother (and his friend)' foraged a local farmer's field for 'potatoes' and 'other' produce to improve our dietary intake.
'At that time', 'Governmental Control' had little forcing to outcomes (1950-60s). However, I'd have thought that we've 'moved on' since then? Perhaps not?
Best regards, Ray Dart (aka, suricat).
