    Rubbish to see. Sleeping in a doorway in the UK or Europe or AU just should not happen. I have seen some dark times in my life but I never slept in a doorway, so I would like to make a donation if you have a link I will send them what I can. Cheers QP.

    I was approached one day by 2 people from Shelter and asked if I knew of someone who was sleeping rough on the park. I told them he up sticks and move during the day, he'd come back later and normally pitch in some of the harder to find places on the park. I never saw him or his tent again. I really hope they found him the help he needed so I suppose you could try Shelter.

    I will look into it as it goes. How is your health? You seemed to be having hard time of it.

    Well, I've had covid and a few wobbles( though you'd never had guessed) but my health (I'm well aware that there are a lot of folk suffering a lot more than me) is good, thank you for asking. Back on track, my favorite covid pastime is to hook up one of my bikes to the turbo trainer, take the laptop in the garage with me and suddenly I'm cycling through the French Alps.

    ps. I'll TRY and behave if Elite allows me to board the Cheltenham bound bus. I have no interest whatsoever in horse racing but sounds a good p1ss up.
