Well that's it. Weather's changed for sure.

We had to go to Bristol this week .
We got lost ( owing to me putting a letter wrong in the satnav .)
So in a fairly run down part of town we pulled into a bus stop to ask where we were .
The first people I asked were visitors - typical !
The second man looked in a bad way he had a serious medical condition as was evident but he tried his best .
The next man gave similar directions .
He too looked rough he only had two teeth
Both looked desperately poor .
Lack of teeth is a sure sign of poverty and no doubt of something else .
They weren't young .
Lack of care , maybe some previous abuse or neglect .
I live in a village where more or less everyone is ok .
You don't see people like this .
It's a sobering reality that it's not all roses and affluent gentility for some people .
These two men , I don't know ,were they even really waiting for a bus ?
Or just sitting in the sun enjoying its warmth and passing the time
I think of them we are not all fortunate in life
( I know I'm a miserable beggar but these things affect me )

May thought people who gambled were fools
Til one day she had a go on the pools
She blindly put an x here and there
And Saturday nearly fell off her chair
When she won enough to buy the Crown Jewels!

Yes,  he used to make me laugh as well.
But that never seemed creepy like the glammed up  drag queens you see on tele nowadays.

I wonder if Barry Humphries would have been allowed to do that show now?
I bet quite a few would find it offensive.

Funny thing is this act if shooting themselves in the foot has not been published in the main media here .
But everywhere knows .

Ireland has made itself an International laughing stock .
