I went to renew the gas and electricity card/key last week in our local shops (a parade of 4) to discover the newsagent next door had been mugged that morning, as I came out two people were having a row over someone elses drug debt (not that I stood still you understand, but it was loud), a dog shat on the pavement and it started to pour with rain. You take the rough with the smooth :)mumasuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13063599072799536913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-65330445342890858822014-02-04T18:39:19.987+00:002014-02-04T18:39:19.987+00:00YP, you don't have monopoly on dealing with t...YP, you don't have monopoly on dealing with the disadvantaged. I have been in properties lived in by people I doubt the majority of those from the lower middle classes can even envisage and I have de-loused people as they came onto the hospital ward. Nor do you have the monopoly on having left-wing politics. However both you and I have the advantage of being able to see it and, in your case do something about it, from the comfort of not being deprived.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-48020049756412670812014-02-04T14:09:08.235+00:002014-02-04T14:09:08.235+00:00Yes but I don't want to say any more right now...Yes but I don't want to say any more right now as I shall blog about him soon.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-27210016503731421912014-02-04T13:42:11.820+00:002014-02-04T13:42:11.820+00:00Thank you for that ~ I will research him to find o...Thank you for that ~ I will research him to find out what he was famous for.

I have had Brody in both systems, and I know where he got the better education. Despite their economic disadvantage these kids still come from mostly loving families who want the best for them. The kids are happy and respectful in spite of their disadvantage. This is just my experience and it probably deserves a blog post of its own :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592150238891296272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73244687344462036852014-02-04T11:32:50.491+00:002014-02-04T11:32:50.491+00:00GB - for more than thirty years I taught in school...GB - for more than thirty years I taught in schools that serve disadvantaged areas - with all of the attendant challenges.

On a trip to Belgium two years ago, our guide was astounded to learn that our town has only one bus per day, so basically there's no way to go anywhere without a car. As for walking, we are of the fortunate few who live close enough to walk to the center of town (if we don't mind hiking back up the lower portion of the small mountain we live on) but will be rewarded for our efforts by only a dry cleaner, a coffee shop, and a drug store (or chemist). Your town sounds lovely.
