A few years ago while in London I was on my way to a business lunch at the Ritz, happy as I strolled along I noticed something odd about the chap walking towards me... he had a coat (it was late December with snow/slush on the ground), a beard (so what?), looked somewhat unkempt (but hey fashion can be odd too), but he had no shoes!
It was then I stopped dead to watch him walk past and it occurred to me he must have been a homeless chap walking the freezing street of London, and me on my way to a £70 'lunch' of sarnies and buns
I pointed out the idiocy of the situation to my London based chums who were amazed I'd even noticed him, 'serves him right' was their typical response 'non-one has to sleep rough' they said 'they choose to' they all seemed to think as they ordered another £100 bottle of plonk
Is it just me or is this situation in our capital city simply wrong, and the sentiment simply sickening? :shrug:
