Topbit said we had similar backgrounds - now I know what he means! I have experienced pockets of homelessnes, alcohol abuse, years of mental ill-health etc etc. People can be amazing when you're down, hey. I'll never forget when I was with my daughter (when I had custody of her) in this shitty B&B for the homeless in a posh area of London: I hadn't got enough money for food, and was staring at this can of tuna for, like, 5 minutes. When I looked in my shopping basket, some anonymous lovely person had put ?5 in it. Now, when I have the opportunity+goodwill, I give someone who needs it ?5 and that story. Maybe they'll pass it on too.
