no you aint my old foreman used to pick his wife up everynight from work in burnley centre there was a homeless bloke sat there all the time he asked my foreman for spare change of which my foreman offered him a job the bloke soon walked away . I know what id have done with that complete waste of society . Another bloke came into my works one day asking for work he d been sleeping in the scrapyard as he said he d had his tent nicked and his bag and was desperate he was like a sort of tree hugger he only lasted 1 day of which he went to sleep at every opportunity even on the dirt outside . We heard a few weeks later he was living in a tent near the ski slope and was a glue sniffer
