[QUOTE="klein, post: 891727, member: 23950"] When I first seen your thread and the Piers Morgan part - I thought it was because of the lie of his childhood. He was on the show, saying how poor he was going to school and mostly getting peanut butter and jam sandwiches and a piece of fruit for lunch, and only the odd time meat, and once a week (friday's $5.00). Gee, that's not poor to me ! First of all as a kid, who wanted meat sandwiches, anyways ? Secondly, $5.00 for pocket money once per week in those days, seems a lot to me. I was happy with a quarter back then (bought me a bag of chips and a pop) or even a whole bag of bulk candies (2 for a penny). Chocolate bars were 5 cents ! Remember the snack pack at KFC ? (drumstick, thigh, fries, and salad) was $1.00 when I was 10 years old. He also didn't show any emotion whatsover when telling his "poor" childhood. Trust me, I know it first hand, and it does get emotional when told. [/QUOTE]
