Tramps
Tramps, burn-outs and the homeless insane all go to making life that little bit more interesting.
Gather around the burning oil-drum and tell us your hobo-tales.

Milton Keynes wheelchair big issue scam artist.
There is (or was, I don't live in MK anymore) a chap who spent his time outside Marks & Spencers selling the big issue. He was in a wheel chair and quite chatty to everyone who probably had a bit of sympathy for him being both homeless and in a wheelchair. He did this for years.
Any compassion I felt was wiped out when I was with a mate walking to the local shop and we spy Mr Homeless wheelchair man walking out of his front door to go to the same shop for booze!
So these days I'm a bit of a miser when I meet people begging for change or offering the poor read that is the big issue. Possibly also due to a fella asking for change as he was "homeless and hungry". So rather than offer him money as I'd been on a work training thing which provided lunch I had a prepacked and still sealed sandwich and offered it to him. Never seen someone who's "homeless and hungry" look so disgusted at the prospect of a free meal which he did indeed turn down.
