When I was first married in 1960 I was happy to live in a bed-sit. I had a mate who had a child, he too was happy living in a bed-sit. Nowadays people 'need' to live in a three bedroomed home with all the mod cons, unless they are considered deprived. I guess bed-sit accommodation can still be found at no more that one third of a minimum monthly wage especially if people worked at least a 48 hour weeks as I did. (i.e..£6 x 48 = £288 x 4 = £1152 ÷ 3 = about £380 pm)[/COLOR]
