I always get terribly sad when I see someone begging in the street. Just yesterday there was a poor old man outside Roys shop in Wroxham (Norfolk UK) trying to sell a few pegs. He was dressed a little like a traditional gypsy, but I don't know if he was. What upsets me so much is that people walk past without giving the person even a glance. It must be absolutely soul-destroying to be totally ignored in your need. I had a little chat with him (just about the weather etc) and gave him a fiver for a little card with a few pegs attached. I had tears in my eyes, it wrings my heart every time. To be 'invisible' to society in that way must really hurt. I wished I could have done more, but I don't have a lot to spare. Poor chap.
