If all of the above is so good, perhaps LARRY can tell everyone why there are more people than ever going to food banks (and that is even when they are working) and why is there many many more, almost following suit? There were people that were better off when we were blacked out, they were called the suitcase brigade.
Hi, Larry here. Shut that door Everard. We were called The Sick Man of Europe. because we were bankrupt. Housing was falling apart. The power went off regularly.
