                            I remember. When a group of tramps....Gentlemen of the Street, would get somewhat excited.
                            This particular group had setup home under the road at the junction of Gloucester Gate, Parkway and Albany Street. London NW. Strange location but. The Regents canal was blocked off there, so what had previously been a watercourse was now a stinking residence for these gents.
                            This bye the bye was when I was a traffic cop, and this location was tu us known as 16patrol. Thinking back. IMO some of these tramps might have made top class detectives. Cops, police officers in general would so often turn a blind eye to these folk. Varous reasons. They were reluctant to having a wash, I doubt that many of todays fragrancies would have been powerful enough to eliminate what had by now become their natural odour.

                            Amazingly, despite our unauthordoxed relationship with them, they soon became aware of us.

                            I was on motorcycle patrol and parked close to Gloucester Gate. Suddenly. Hello, Micheal me ole lad, can you spare a few coppers . This smelly individual knew my name. How?

                            Anyway, it was perhaps 1961 and around the festive season. I was requested to give a few coppers. Of course I declined and offered to ignite the breath of this guy. Their tipple in those days consisted of meths and surgical spirit. So my seasonal best wishes to the gentlemen of the streets. Drink up but stand clear of the naked flame.

                              I don't see whats this has got to do with this thread and as a person serving the community you should have more compassion for the people in question,

                              We don't know the background of these people and they shouldn't be judged in the manner you describe them shame on you.

                                Evening all :)

                                Whilst it is really important that we think of our fellow man, particularly so at this time of year, can I just give a wee gentle reminder that this thread is about sharing our Christmas Decorations. If you want to start another thread to discuss matters such as homelessness at this time of year, then by all means please do so, but can we please keep this thread on the friendly topic that it is. I am happy to move any posts required into a new thread - just give me a shout and I will happily accommodate.

                                I must remember to get a pic of our tree and post it tomorrow (got photos of the outside of the house, but not the inside).
