General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Before the second world war was even worse as I had a grandfather who because of losing a leg in the first world war fighting for King and Country was unable to work and with no benefit system, lived together with my grandmother and kids in extreme poverty which resulted in my grandmother ending up with ricketts due to the lack of food and no money to pay for any medical treatment as there was also no free NHS in those grim days of real poverty!

As the saying goes, they don't know they are born today!
