This newspaper article is about a family made up of two parents and 16 children (with the seventeenth on the way). Sue Radford has had a baby with her husband Noel Radford every 17 months for the past 24 years. They're said to be "thrilled" to be expecting yet another baby. Sue first became pregnant with their first child together at the age of 14, and they were determined to keep the baby. After their second baby, they pledged to have even more, and that's exactly what they did.
The couple own a bakery together and both work very hard. They live in a former children's home and use a minibus as a car. They're a working class family. I think this family is a positive representation of a working class family because the parents are loving of all of their children, and the fact they want even more children goes to show how family-orientated they are. Their way of life is often scrutinised by the press and general public, but the family is clearly loving of one another - you can even tell just by looking at the photographs - so it doesn't seem to matter to the family what other's think.
