The Scheme

[em_sh]

Hola,

I don't know how many of you will have had the opportunity to see the joyous show of crack otherwise known as 'The Scheme', so I thought I'd share because IT IS GOLD. (UK peeps can iPlayer it and watch it on much nicer quality which really brings out the true horror of it all I find.) It's about families who live in a housing scheme in

Thanks for showing us this Em - you're right it is gold in it's own way and it reminds me of a life I could have been living except for my parents choice to emigrate to Australia when I was 9.

I was born in Kilwinning & lived in Saltcoats only a few miles from Kilmarnock - similar sorts of housing estates - some of my boyhood friends went on to have similar problems to what The Scheme depicts - All I can say is "There but for the grace of god go I"

I laughed quite a bit as despite many years going by I can still understand every word said despite the accents so translation services not needed LOL

Hope you have a great holiday!

There but for... is spot on really. Things could have been very different.

Cheers, I hope to!
