Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Friday. It's tranquil outside this morning. It's stopped raining, but everything is wet. I'll check on Tiggy III when it's light enough.

Some running around this morning, to ASDA in Quedgley for some shoplifting and fill the car up with petrol, they are the cheapest in the area. After that I have no idea.

Have a happy day everyone.

[ummmm]

Good morning. Today I will be making batches of soup for the homeless. I don't give it out though, my niece does that.

[waterboatman]

Morning ummmm xxx Well done you and your daughter. That's a lovely thing to do.

[ummmm]

I won't take credit for it. My son told my niece that I make really nice soup so she asked me if I could make some. She goes out a few times a week with food.

[waterboatman]

Credit to all of you. xxx

[ummmm]

It's quite sad. They give out food in the evening so they feed the genuine homeless and not career beggars. Quite a few people do it. My friend collects blankets, hats, gloves etc and hands them out. She does it all winter.....and she has 7 kids!!

[waterboatman]

She keeps busy right enough! Well done her.

Morning all x
That's amazing ummmm.

[waterboatman]

Morning lina xxx Indeed it is. It just goes to show there are some lovely people out there, quietly doing such wonderful things but are not heard about. All we hear about is the scumbags getting up the their antics.

[ummmm]

Homelessness seems to have escalated dramatically over the last few years. There's a church in town and it's full of tents. They are sleeping in a graveyard. So sad.

I just looked Quedgley up waterman, you're a lucky man to
live where you do and be able to travel a short distance to an equally beautiful place.

[Eleena]

Exactly waterman. Ummmm, it has. I see this every single morning travelling to work from the centre of Manchester. I have to go, bye x

[waterboatman]

Sad indeed ummmm. The government should help.

lina I love living here. it is indeed a lovely place.

[waterboatman]

Have a happy day lina xxxxx

[ummmm]

The government are limited. What's happened?

[waterboatman]

Sadly that's right. But they throw a great deal of our money to foreign countries that are richer than we are. That money could be better used here.

[ummmm]

Just not enough affordable housing. I can't see how my kids are ever going to afford to buy a house. Obviously they have us but not everyone has that.

[waterboatman]

If the government stopped allowing all and sundry into the country we wouldn't have a housing shortage. Unemployment would be a lot lower too.
