I don't try to change what others do - I try to change what I do, for my own benefit. Over my 65 years I've had more S**T than many others but I boast about what I've achived, not the difficulties I endured.

Bitterness just takes you down - working your way out of poverty, however defined, is the only way - and that's what should be focussed on.

OK...fair point. But you can understand why i questioned you as you responded to a working class ethic rather than a bitterness.
Anyway....i do think it's good to highlight achievements....thats great....but the difficulties in my family past i mentioned were only in repost to the difficulties you mentioned in yours!!!!

Went to the Labour Exchange and asked if they had any jobs for a 74 year old man who has had a replacement heart and two new hips...

Go self employed. Remember, your hear and hips are younger than my heart and hips! :)
