[mackem 23,822]

Saw two different sides to London today,met my missus uptown and went to harrods for lunch,great place to people-watch,then came outside walked around the corner and its another world,i must have counted 25 homeless people in a couple of streets,some of them were slightly intoxicated and having a party,mix of foreign and brit,lots of Romanian big issue sellers around.

remember few years back sat upstairs in a pub watching one across the road,

noticed he had a lot of people coming to him and the people coming to him looked just as scruffy!! then I twiged what was going on..

he was under a shop canopy and behind some bus stops so the towns cctv couldn't see him knocking out smack

I was in Windsor 3 days ago,i counted 8 near the castle,i think they coin it in during summer when the place is wall-to-wall tourists.

It’s simple, just like sanfranshitsco it’s turned into a liberal utopia

I know two lads who were selling the big issue whose mam had two businesses 

absolutely no living under bridges with them two 

as for the realistic thing of homelessness. 

I lve month to month, we had a second child 2 years ago. 

Like many with  young families, we cannot afford the childcare for her to go back to work full time. 

We just financially cannot afford her to hold any type of well paid job. It’s not worth it. 

Were probably 10k a year worse off now with her not having working. 

Car 

childcare 

bills 

it all comes on top very quickly, we went from living very well to beans on toast for tea very quickly. 

I’m in probably the most stable job you can find . 

Never take your life for granted as you never know what lays around the corner 

 

 

Pretty much in the very same situation stiff, 3 kids wife had to give up a decent well paid job and only my wage coming in now to cover all the bills, can be real fcuking tough going at times. If there’s food in the cupboards and heat in the house we’ll get by alright.
