I'm glad someone else has seen, the man I have only seen asleep (until my loud girl wakes him) but the lady is very shifty looking but after a couple of hard stares she seemed to wander far enough away...I'm glad they are aware hopefully he will take the help soon
They are not a new nature attraction, they are human beings. Perhaps you could teach your little one not to shout and wake them up each time. It's not a game. And I wonder if you felt enormously superior and condemnatory with your 'hard stares' at the woman. I only ask. Sorry, but the tone of this post seriously pisses me off.

Buddug what a pathetic way to look upon a post...nothing you say makes an impact!

A child is going to be 100% curious because it is a new experience


Go and use your time helping them instead of interrupting a curious thread as this is a forum about our local area and the goings on!!!!

You being offended is of no concern to me...don't read what you can't see two sides of

Saying a person is "down on their luck" isn't even a statement you could begin to explain because it's broader than most people could know


If you read the post property you would see it was a "humorous" add in that my child speaks of them...as she does of squirrels etc


Read the main message don't derive what you want from it

OP, your ignorance scares me. Through history there have been any number of sectors of our society that have been described as curious, or scary, or shifty based on nothing but a snap judgement of their appearance or situation. Ignorance is usually the cause, fascism is usually the result. Next time you see them try taking a hot drink or sandwich to them. And also consider that a huge proportion of this country is only a one month pay check from being in a very similar situation. Explain to your curious daughter that what she is seeing is the result of a society broken by people who do nothing but point. I'm amazed I managed to get through this without swearing.
Disgraceful post. Glad at least that one person has taken the trouble to find out if Shelter are aware, instead of posting idle and contemptuous gossip. Almost worse than the original is the comeback to buddug, who is entirely correct and justified. Shame.

Lighten up and read the reason for post

To ask if others have noticed the recent increase in homelessness in our local area


And don't dare assume to know how a hold should be moulded, thins are to be discovered in ones own time not

Forced upon them

Hmmm yes. Unpleasant tone here. I spent 10 years living in supported housing with people with learning disabilities and they got so much of this kind of attitude all the time, including from children who had not been taught about tolerance and difference. Perfectly fair that she is curious but she can do that quietly. And as for the "hard stares" - shocking.

Oh dear.


LaineyB - if I ever need a nanny...remind me not to call you. Anyone who's an advocate of the Daily Mail's school of parenting and thinks it's "humorous" to refer to a someone sleeping rough who's probably homeless as "the new nature attraction" need not apply.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
