Saundra I was flicking round channels last night and caught a couple of minutes of this, the really articulate and bright little blonde girl who lived in one room with her mother and sister? Living ad sleeping with no furniture and surrounded by piles of their clothes and stuff with nowhere to keep it :( It was heartbreaking - I had to turn over as it was getting me upset :( The richest country in the world and people are living like that :(

It will be like that in this country soon if the present lot get their way :(

Loz I can't remember the channel, I only found it by accident :?

I was awake half the night after watching that programme I was so upset, it puts our lives into perspective.
I hope the UK doesn't get as bad as there.
