    Perhaps we will go back to having Electricity Boards that built houses for their workers to live in.


    ... How far back do people want to turn their clocks?




    Same as landowners who found that they were sitting on a fortune of coal. In order to get the workers, they had to provide accommodation; but then, of course, they had a further return on their investment in the form of rent. Same for mill owners in Lancashire, but in olden days, being higher up the pecking order meant that you lived nearer to the factory.


    Then the coal ran out, so why would you expect to be able to stay there?
