WE have all heard about the tidal wave that killed so many people and yes we've heard what the great British public have given.
On Radio Piccadilly a man said that Indonesia was one of the world's wealthiest countries but I think he sadly got it wrong. It has one of the world's cheapest labour force. It cost last year 28pence to make a pair of trainers there that were priced here at up to £60.
Similar prices for other luxury goods. I wonder how much these people put back into the local communities concerned.
