Down here at the pawn shop

[DanaC]

What always used to upset me, were people struggling along on scant benefits just having to trust the shopkeeper and the bus driver and the windowcleaner to give the right change and not to take too much when they proffer a handful of coins. It's their vulnerability that gets to me.

Or the ones who just got put off by early schooling and then labelled 'stupid'. 50 year olds still caught up in this image of themselves that was set when they were tiny children. And for all their coping mechanisms, the one thing they can't get around is the moment when their child asks them to help with homework.
