What is regarded as 'poverty' today is NOWHERE near the REAL poverty of the 40's, 50's, AND 60's.

Aye, the 70's were hard as well Kirk.
I can remember my mother trying to batter a tin of peas one Sunday, we had nothing else in the house to eat....mind you we had the excitement of watching the peas escaping from the batter in the hot fat.
She worked full time but never enough money to go around
