Money, Money, Money

An old lady left 500000 pounds when she died. When she died she lived in a six bedroom
home for fourteen years, and dressed in a second hand clothes from jumble sales. She only went out
twice a day early in the morning, to look for useful things on the beach to take home, and then for a
session on the fruit machines later on.
Among the rubbish found in her house after her death were her diaries. She had written down
every penny she spent, including jumble sale bargains and anything she won on the fruit machines.
Grocer, George says: Every Monday she used to come into my shop and buy her weekly order of
six eggs, seven bananas and seven pounds of potatoes. The order never changed, and all she had to
cook with was an old gas cooker with two rings- the oven didnt work.
The irony of the story is that the eccentric old lady, who used to love watching American soap
operas, could have lived in the extravagant style of her favorite soap opera , Dallas, if she wanted
to.

Out of Work
In Britain, many people are out of work. Tracy is eighteen and she left school a year ago. She
lives in the North East, an area of high youth unemployed. She has not been able to find a job yet.
My dad just does not understand. He started working in a steel mill when he was fifteen. Things
are different now, but he thinks I should start bringing home some money. Oh, I get my
unemployment benefit, but that is not much and I am fed up with queuing for it every Thursday. I
hate having to ask my mum and my dad for money. Oh, my mum gives a couple of pounds for tights
now and then, but she cannot stand seeing me at home all day. I have almost given up looking for a
job. I buy the local paper every day but I am tired of looking through the Situations Vacant
column. There are fifty applicants for every job. I was interested in being a dentists receptionist
because I like meeting people, but now I would take any job at all. People ask me why I don not
move to London, but I dont want to leave my family and friends. Anyway, I am scared of leaving on
my own city in a big city.
