Ouch!
I have a healthy respect for those older than me and like to listen to there stories. A woman now who would be probably a hundred if she were alive told me about when she was only ten years old she came home from school to have to go out to work every day. She would get a penny a week wage of which she spent on toffee, she said she could get a huge pile of toffee for one penny. Then all her teeth went rotten and she could not offord to have her teeth out, she was in agony for days before going to some one they called the butcher who gave her a swig of whisky before pulling her teeth with pliers ,as she screamed and yelled three men held her down, she finished up with no teeth atall and a painful infection, she nearly died of blood poisioning. Stories like that make me glad for what we have today.
