They have my sympathies, but Jesus every road you go down your being asked for money.
The homeless population has massively increased over the last 5 or so years. You often see tents in parks early in the morning.
Austerity is an awful thing.
It's horrible. Just walked through the square to the harboursude and almost every bench has someone sleeping in it. Been asked for money 3 times since walking down by the bars.
Some guy in a t shirt, scarf and skinny jeans just stacked it on his bike because his m&s bag caught in his front wheel. Me and the gf had to help him up and he was covered in wine from his broken bottle of m&s Merlot.
It may be the most bristol thing I have ever seen
Absolutely love it here though, and hope to move here next year.
