That's a bit black and white, in a situation where there are many shades of grey :nono:

50 I believe

You know you would do more than 50 niamh

I have no idea what this means :worry:

Hmm. Maybe its different elsewhere in the country but oop North at places like that, they have to do a sample there and there , they aren't allowed to bring in pots of piss. I know this as my father in laws partner is on 'the methadone program' having spent a tough time in her life on heroin and working as an escort. Been on methadone for around 10 years now. I actually cannot imagine somewhere that has to monitor patients allowing random pisspots to be used tbh

there's a lot in leeds city centre, i feel really bad for most of them

not so much the couple who came up to me yesterday saying that they had walked from manchester to liverpool to leeds since the morning trying to find a pound for a sandwich

:suspect:

I love sweeping generalisations.

Well have you?

Have you? I don't think you have if you think security is as lax at rehab centres as you think it is to allow such a con to easily happen never mind it being commonplace.

Yes they do that check here but they put urine in a sering in their underwear

I DEFINITELY have. I decided one homeless man did not equal every homeless man. Why? What did you decide?

GiI have been in them many times its not rehab like the priory.

Sure, Jan.

I don't need to lie.

Hmm.

Do you look at who is on the streets 90'per cent is young men.

You get a sweeping generalisation and you get a sweeping generalisation! EVERYONE GETS A SWEEPING GENERALISATION.

Most homeless people I see are older men.

:joker:

its subjective though, they are probably old to you and young to Sherriff :hee:

In town today 18 to 30 was the average two woman sleeping next to each other in a door way.

Better to go buy a hot drink and some cold eatables if you have some change to spare, than give money, as if they are really homeless they would welcome that. If they are begging for drink or drug money then they can't spend hot drink or food given to them.

I have actually been to the Priory, went there for 2 years in fact. Met quite a few famous people. Tru factoid.

I like to think I'd never be in a position where I would need to beg but in the state this country is in right now we can never say never. I do give money to street buskers because I enjoy people playing music but I never give money to beggars, many are drug takers and alcoholics and I don't want to feed their habit. I'd rather buy them a sandwich and a drink.

:omgno: we are in the presence of celebrity.:hehe:


Just before Christmas there was a guy begging outside Lidl, he was dressed nicely and had a backpack, I didn't give him anything on they way in, but felt a bit bad so on the way out I asked if he would like a sandwich and a drink so he said okay but then got very picky about the type of sandwich he wanted..no cheese...and no apple juice :oh:

a few weeks later there was another guy offering to take back the trolley and keep the pound, I sat and watched he must have made 20.00 in 10 minutes :joker:
