At one time in Sheffield, poor people used to glaze their windows with paper soaked in grease or oil, to let the light in, and keep the draughts out.

Carpet!! LUXURY!!!

We never had windows, because we didn't have any walls in our house to put em in, we were so poor. :P

House, luxury! We had a shoe box in the middle of the street and we had to share that with 3 other families. Kids today, don't know they're born.
