That's really interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that. Because people in Africa live in the desert with no water source for miles and go to the toilet in a hole outside (some do, I've been there!), but if that was to happen in the Uk we'd have all kinds of social services people around. That's a very good point.

But in The Lottery, aren't they the 'odd ones out' in society as it were? Wouldn't they be the ones social services were all upon as opposed to the norm for that country?

(Please correct me if I'm wrong, I couldn't quite figure that bit out!)
