The reason I put "poverty" in inverted commas was that from what I see, some of those "in poverty" are in the poverty of their own making. They fritter money away on all sorts of stuff not needed to "live".

As I walk round with my dog, I see the same households with overflowing bins and loadsa trash hanging around. I see re-cycling boxes loaded with tin cans, not all of them food either plus, lotsa bottles which contained bottled water. What the heck for? Those in poverty in Africa would give an arm and a leg for the water we get out of our taps. Alongside the bins, I see bags stuffed with all sorts and wonder just how much money they're wasting each week?
