15 Helping People Every Day

14 "Laters"

More of this? You ask. Of course, I say. In 2022 around 6% of rough-sleeping homeless/indigent people were veterans. This was down from 22% in 1997. (Good job, charities, but keep going) Not all people who are homeless are sleeping rough. Image author's own.

The Hunting of the Wren

It's a folk-rite of renewal. Like many, in its original form, it is unutterably savage. This is an old poem, (2015) but I've rescued it from an old hard disk because it reminds me of the clips I saw of last night's ridiculous pre-election slanging match.

In the first para you mix up your tenses. The night wind "blows" but the moon "hung".

Later you have

"At 10:46pm on Friday 3rd December, a random incident occur outside The Beachcomber pub."

Did you start this as all...

Marvellous stuff.

  You have Long Cheney Jr vice Lon Chaney Jr in the paragraph beginning "A goaty, hairy chap..."

Do tell me to bog off if it's deliberate.

Enjoyed the Stones reference.

Well done.

NO! Don't...

 continuity. although Dulux is a US brand of paint too, did they ever use the Old English Sheepdog as part of their branding? The Dulux Dog was used in campaigns in AUS and NZ, but I don't think it was in the States.
