Who's hiding? No concealed wealth, wish I had! You see, I'm not like
you as I'm working class and was not born with a silver spoon in my
mouth like you. Not envious of you at all.

I was born in Florence Street in the Glasgow Gorbals in 1955 and Kent
was something we only saw on T.V. where the aristocrasy lived like
you! I wouldn't change my upbringing for yours in a million years!

My back court in Florence Street...

Sorry but I'm getting a bit nostaljic here about Florence Street and I
can remember back to when I was about 3 years old...

One time our room and kitchen flat was burgled and I remember my mum
saying "the bugger has stolen your dad's gold watch" (think it was
brass actually ;-)

There were four buildings in the block and the back court railings
were all down so it was just one big land mass with a big ditch in the
middle where the kids (and I) played. When it rained the ditch filled
fast with water and we all used to throw mud at each other. Great fun!
:-)

Okay, back to the present...

You said a while back you wanted them in your 'happy' home, well
that's gonna happen a lot sooner than you think!

Apinya Sarakul abandonded her children on the 3rd of January 2003!

Appropriate words don't you think?

Alex, if all else fails, look at this. I've got a spare £30 Argos 
voucher and I know you're good with a saw ....

When push comes to shove…… 

People claiming benefits fraudulently are taking money from those who 
are in genuine need and from every tax payer in this country (expats 
too, who have also WORKED and paid taxes!). 
The judge was on the right track but the lawyers weren’t so smart. 
We know better don’t we?
