Hello Marguerita -
Nice to see you. I did say 'hello' in the CDWM thread but I guess I missed you as I came in at the tail end.
Thank you Kaffy and all for the chat

That's OK Marguerita.
Do you know how much she gave the chap who ran the centre?
No need to respond to my last question Marg. I see you've answered that question to Kathy further up.
Seven and a half thousand pounds but I feel she will keep in touch with all of them and could possibily give them more help if they need itquote:Originally posted by HyacinthB:quote:Sorry Hyacinth I missed you on the CDWM thread she was a nice lady she did well for everyone

Thanks, I saw that bit, my V+ box cut off just as she was going back to revisit him and see what he'd done. I was 'Nooooooooooo!'
sorry kaffy dear - didn't see this thread - great minds 
I`ve cut and pasted my post from lil`s thread with additions.
That was from my home town, although I live just outside it now. We recognised some of the people. My son and I were in tears.
It used to be a vibrant working city but with the descimation of the factories and boatyards and apprenticeships( Thatcherism) its dying in a sense for the working class boy/girl/woman/man. Prolific for universities,invention, medicines, arts but nothing for the ordinary person who may not be quite as clever. Tesco/McDonalds are some their options or call centres where they are treated like numbers.
The drug problem is rife..young people destined to a life of garbage. I see them on the street everyday..for such a small city it`s overwhelming..the change in my home town is beyond belief.

The Hilltown area where some of the programme focused on used to be a community that looked after each other, in the old fashioned can I borrow a cup of sugar sense. Now it is drug ridden. My close friend from Edinburgh naively bought a pub there. It was her biggest mistake. It was robbed every week. Most of the people who frequented it are now dead,through Aids..needle sharing etc. Such a tragedy.
Sorry not read whole thread, but what about the kid in the fire damaged flat? She coulda given him twenty nicker for a leccy token or summat?
It's all a bit self-indulgent tho, these people throwing a couple of quid around on the telly. And you can tell from the get-go, half the folk are thinking, "Bingo! Some dude with a camera crew in the old folk's home, it's the Secret Millionaire, look oppressed!" The way they try to act their reaction is cringe-making. Except the Poles, but that was because they were Polish and had no telly
