I was listening to a report about a city in USA which is nearly bankrupt.
Many people have lost their jobs and are finding things so hard they cannot
afford their water bills and their supply is being turned off I would
like to think that they can find such generous folk as those here, so that
at least their children can get breakfast!

I can't remember the name, I think it began with a B.
