Perhaps they aint 'umbble enough.

For those not in the know Wiganers are known as pie eaters for events in the C19th? regarding a coal strike. After the settlement they 'ad to eat 'umbble pie.

Sometimes I see a particularly gormless person eating his lunch in a van which says, 'No tools are left in this van.' Needless to say I don't believe that statement.

The poor will always be with us*, but it doesn't necessarily make them thieving barstewards.

*I am referring here to the concept of relative poverty, i.e. if you have one car in a country where most people have three you would be considered poor.

I once went to a party thrown by a fellow student whose mother was a survivor of a death camp. My girlfriend left half a litre of Coke behind her afterwards; hostess' mother made her cycle three miles to return it. She explained that her mother had never got away from an attitude that ownership of food was absolutely inviolable, since she'd been in circumstances where a few grammes of nourishment might have meant the difference between life and death.
