A thought struck my mind as i walked through town ?????????

lookin around the exremely busy high street on a thursday afternoon.. the shops were busy also and had to wait in ques went for lunch and it was mobbed we had to wait for a seat. i thought to myself how can all these people shop and eat .. how can they afford it why is there so many people shouldnt they be working. i was out for the day which was a rare occasion for me...and if they dont work how can they afford this .. ???? just wondered where every one comes from to make it so busy..
