It goes without saying that they make their own choices and all that, but whilst we shouldnt "have to" feel sorry for them, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a sympathy vote, throwing a bit of cash their way.

Just tell me its for white lightening or drugs, and not for your sick dog/food/phone.

Are there any tramps on PH with a view to share?

[Timmy35]

The two main demographics of tramps/homeless are ex-forces and divorced men.

Not such a hard scenrio to imagine.....she sues for divorce, gets the house, you're in a bedsit....start drinking because soddit why not....work suffers, you loose the job, can't pay the rent....out on your ear.

I'll give em/offer them some food if I've got time, but not money for booze, if they don't want food or a cup of tea then they can get stuffed.

[GTIR]

I never give them money.

I live in Cambridge and this area attracts them like flies round a bottle of cheap whisky.

I have heard that when they go in to get their money from the benefits office they each share a dog, as they get money for dog food! but also

[NDA]

No. Most of them look healthy enough, often with a well fed dog in tow. Dossing is the easy way out, they should climb the greasy pole of depravity like the rest of us.

[Ganglandboss]

I never give to them. I watched a documentary about homeless in Manchester and there was a Police Officer who dealt mainly with the homeless. She said the ones who are sleeping rough are the druggies, piss-cans and violent ones (but in different words) and that there is plenty of support for the well behaved ones. Also there was a campaign saying "give to the box - not the beggar".

Is this true of all areas?
