Falklands Veteran
Christmas shopping in London in 1983 I stepped off the escalator from
Waterloo underground to the main station and there I saw a beggar with
an eye patch and one arm, holding a cap.
Around his neck hung a sign ..."Falklands war veteran - 3 children to
support"
I thought "fucking 'ell - what is WRONG with this country"
I had done my shopping - gave him all the cash I had left on me -
almost forty quid.
The guy looked up, flashed a toothless smile and said ....
"Sank you, Sen?r"
