We were watching TV a couple of evenings back and the DEC were broadcasting a request for help for Afghanistan people facing a desperate winter of starvation, freezing cold, malnutrition and lack of medicines, it was desperate and awful to watch. This was followed by an item about people who collect trainers, have huge collections, pay hundreds of pounds for these ugly shoes that they don't even wear, and then it went on to the development of 'virtual trainers' costing £10k upwards which the purchaser does not see, wear or own. I honestly felt as if I had fallen down a rabbit hole. Children starving to death, people buying shoes they don't even wear. Beam me up Scotty.
