Homeless City fan near Asda

Tried to give a bloke outside maccies on oxford street a meal. He said no. Must have been slimming or something.

To be fair, unlikely to be saving up for a mortgage is he?

If drugs and alcohol get them through the long, cold night, I consider it none of my business, as long as they aren't thieving it or hurting anybody else?

I tend to give someone who is civil and clearly down on their luck a few pennies and also some food?

Last winter, got speaking to a young girl called Lisa who was freezing whilst begging outside Sainsbury's in Sale.

Clearly had a drug problem but was so vulnerable.

Not sure why, but asked her if she wanted something to eat from Greggs and she asked for two steak bakes and a large hot chocolate.

Brought them back and she was so grateful. I went back inside Sainsbury's and bought her a tent, socks, couple of jumpers and some T-shirts.

Cost me a couple hundred and she started crying and asking me why, and I just said why not?

I have kids of my own and you never know how life will go, I'd hope if they were ever in trouble, someone would stop and try to help them.

Not a pop at you or anyone else, but I seem to be getting less judgemental of things since turning 50!!

Speechless I’ve read some great posts on here but… that’s in the top ten . Got the girls and mum around me at moment ( it’s me birthday) but really made me sit up and think.
BM is a good place at times.

I love and agree with your sentiments

I get in trouble with the Mrs for handing over money to homeless (she actually pointed out to me one particular occasion in town that it was commented on negatively by a group a lads walking past us that I was being 'flashy' and that she felt a little unsafe).

Always feel shite if I'm out enjoying the nightlife and just strolling past someone down on their luck...........

He loves Mancini as sings his name a lot lol
He seems a nice guy who clearly has had a difficult life
