What austerity?

AUSTERITY? Look at the nice cars parked everywhere. Austerity? Look at the number of people who can afford to go to Glastonbury, Ascot, pop concerts, Wimbledon, football matches, etc.

We are not living through real austerity, but merely trying to live within our means. I was taught by my parents that if I could not afford it, I could not have it. GILLIAN WHITTAKER, Birmingham.
