Very true Dermot :-(

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

If we build a society where only the rich have a real stake in our way of life & where the creation of wealth is the most prized virtue, we establish an underclass who steadily lose hope of living other than at the margins of society.

Sad!

Sadly you are right, what makes it worse is that the fat cats or the company put it in the media, it's like rubbing our noses in it.

I'm not always a grumpy draws, well at least not until something or someone really upsets me!

There will always be fat cats and there will always be thin cats, the thin cats survive on the scraps the fat cats leave once they have had their fill ;-)

More than just me I think too.

For my smelly dustbin which doubles up as a place for flys to breed and then they come into the house for more food, rats also for similar reasons, I'm so glad to be able to assist nature in this way.

My main concern however is that the fat cats get their bonuses, nice cars and holidays etc which some can't afford cos of supporting those that can.

Rant over, thank you for reading :-D
