just watched a recording..

of Rich and Homeless
dead soft hearted I am, cried most of the way through it
memo to myself...always give a pound to the sellers of The Big Issue, don't care if they are lying, I can afford it...

[caththecrazy]

Big Issue is more than �1 though.

Always buy one if I see it for sale but more than that always talk to the seller in the town when I go which is rarely - hate shopping.

[caththecrazy]

Think they have to have a badge number to sell it with their id

[Bobbisox]

don' t mind that cc, I will put a pound in their tin, don't want the paper

[caththecrazy]

It's a good read though - lots of interesting things in it - some of their stories and poetry are so moving

[Bobbisox]

really? never bought one but I will now,,,thanks cc

[Prudentia]

I don't give money to those who go around the corner for a drug fix, Prudentia.,I offer them a cornish pasty or something to eat and they will tell you to ****** off in no uncertain languaggge

[caththecrazy]

Prudentia some of them do that but I've never had that happen to me from a Big Issue seller - the one on my nearest town has been there for a few years and he's finally got a bedsit.

Hiya Bobbi - I watched that programme the other night - I think its heartbreaking seeing people sleeping in cardboard boxes - this could happen to anyone of us - and its especially sad when you see youngsters. I think more should be done to help these homeless people.

Bruce Jones was right about the ar$e-holes that languish in our jails for rape and murder, get rid of them and the money they save, help the homeless
