I tried to give money to an old age bag lady yesterday morning outside the Barclay's in Camden, she looked at me, and didn't look at me, as if I was simply insane! A fucking tenner I was gesturing in my hand, after using the cashpoint where she was stood
Perhaps she was an eccentric millionaire, disturbed by my gingerness; I shall never know
But I felt freaked out walking up Parkway to the Zoo

but this was genuinely the strangest situation i've been in
She obviously had her life's possessions in numerous Tesco plastic bags, I was withdrawing somthing random like fifty quid, and was overcome with fluffiness. I remarked if she had eaten with change in my hand, got no response, at which point asked directly if she wanted any money, and offered her the note. She turned her back! Class, perhaps she thought I thought she was a hooker at nine AM in the morning in need of some unwashed, sixty+ bit of rough first thing

My last brush with a bag person was a character in Tottenham Court Road who was sat barefoot with a sign saying "need money for shoes". As I had just bought myself a new pair, I left him my old ones. They were still in fair nick, and about the right size judging by his build.
He threw one after me as I walked away.
I can only imagine it's less easy to buy drugs with old shoes.
