[sailorsgal]

Anyone watching.

Round here the people who knock on your door wanting scrap [or unfortunately,just taking it anyway] are known as didicoys.I don't know if it is a perjorative word or not,so have never used it.

BUMP! Its on tonight, set to be a gritty one

Haven't seen any trailers but sounds like it could be a bit grim - focusing on DV from what I've read.

Are we using this thread tonight or is someone going to start a new one? Want to make sure I am in the right spot.

marking my place

How sad that the 16 year old sister says she wouldn't recommend getting married at her age. She's only been married a month

Grimola.

Poor waste of those girl's intellect and lives.

Very telling the 18yo said 'I won't be on nerve pills a year from now'

Suggests she knows a fair few girls a year down the line who are.

there is such an overwhelming sense of them having no other option than to get married, and young.

thank god somebody has posted,thought there must be another thread that i couldnt find

they just look sooooo young

how long can it take to clean a caravan?

why does the young girl have to look after her siblings,wheres mum

they're such beautiful girls.

Umm, how does cleaning a caravan take a couple of hours a day?

the caravan does look spotless

those poor girls,think this is going to be a very sad episode

I think it's not considered clean unless everything is done every day. So top to bottom, even if it doesn't need it

Oh this is soooo sad. Those lovely girls have no idea what they are missing, careers, holidays, fun

How vulnerable they are, not being able to read or write properly.

yay, a 'rebel'

I wondered about the cleaning.... how clean does it have to be?!

Go Noreen!

so sad

Ah, so the voiceover says: the girls are taken out of school at an early age so they aren't corrupted by outside influences...

I wonder what these corruptive influences might be then?

Who dictates these standards of cleanliness?
