On a recent shopping trip to Brighton I made my way to my favourite shopping centre.
Outside a supermarket, camped on the pavement, was a cold, damp and emaciated young man, complete with a small pile of coppers on a tattered blanket.
On this was a large and well-kept dog being hand-fed doggy treats by a well-dressed woman while the man looked on.
He needed fattening up more than the dog. Oh well, such is life!
