Interesting how generous everyone was, all these people letting complete unknowns on their sofa and pop round and do the neighbours garden.
The Zimbabwe guy loved working, The single mum realised how well off she was and the family got out of a rut.
actually quite a refreshing episode.

Watching tonight?
Single mums at the back of the queue, suitability was key factor.
Currently we spend £700 million on housing for non UK nationals. Unemployed hostels for non working immigrants.
Throwing tenants out for not keeping the house nice.
The lefties must be choking! Even I am thinking OUCH.

MY Grandfather and his peers always grew veg, he wasn't poor but it was the done thing. He went down the allotment, the kids went in the Garden or down the allotment with Grandad or out to the park/forest and Gran cleaned.
were the wire screens there in 1949? I always see that as a 70s / 80s phenomenon barriers up everywhere. I expect in 1949 lumping a Civil servant would have got you a couple of years in prison.

Some people think black folks are winning all the athletics events because of their genes; OK, that's probably a part of it, but listen to what the athletes say about what they ate as kids; none of them will tell you they stuffed their faces with mars bars, big macs, chips and cola. The caribbeans and British caribbeans grew up eating their mum's prawn gumbo, the sub saharan Africans grew up eating grain, chicken and cabbages. The north Africans ate rice or couscous, lots of veg and a bit of stewed mutton stirred in. Hardly surprising they're fit. They're going to take over cycling next as well; that there Kenya where Chris Froome grew up; they've got another hundred like him.

That wouldn't have cut the mustard back in 1949.
Didn't realise the pension was so dire though.
Just as well most of the population died at 67.
Correllation does not prove causation of course.

The look on the guy in the wheelchairs face when he got the job offer was very pleasing.
The lady with Diabetes & Heart problems was telling.
